Parameters

CommandString

Name of command to run (see Remarks)

ParameterStrArray

Array of parameters to execute with the command

ParameterTypeLongArray

Array of ParameterStrArray types as defined by dsResType_e; the size of this array much match the size of ParameterStrArray

HideCommandTitle

True to hide the command in the command window, false to show the command in the command window

Parameters

Errors[out] or Return Value

Status of running the command as defined in dsRunCommandError_e
