IDLffDicomExQuery::Send

The IDLffDicomExQuery::Send function method sends a DICOM Network Service request to a server.

For an example of using this method see IDLffDicomExQuery::OpenFindRQ.

Syntax

Result = Obj.[IDLffDicomExQuery::]Send( MessageID [, ASSOCIATION=value] [, STATUS=variable] )

Return Value

This method sends the request and returns a scalar integer giving an association ID that allows for further communication.

Tip: This association ID should be freed using IDLffDicomExQuery::Close.

Arguments

MessageID

Set this argument to an integer giving the message ID from a previous call to IDLffDicomExQuery::OpenFindRQ.

Keywords

ASSOCIATION

Set this keyword to an existing association ID (from a previous call), or omit this keyword to create a new association with the server.

STATUS

Set this keyword to a named variable in which the status code for the operation will be returned. If STATUS is not specified then any error messages will be output to the screen and IDL will halt execution.

Tip: The status code can be converted to a human-readable string using the IDLffDicomExQuery::MC_Status method.
