In order to '''Call An External Executable from [[DMIS|Dmis]]''' the command to be executed is <code>CALL/EXTERN,SYS</code>. 
The .EXE can be run with or without extra arguments. 

==External Program without argument==
<code>$$ This example open notepad, and suspends ARCO execution while Notepad is open </code>
::<code>CALL/EXTERN, SYS, 'notepad.exe', WAIT'</code>

==External Program with one argument only==

<code>$$ This example open the c:\TEST.TXT file with notepad, and suspends ARCO execution while notepad is open </code>
::<code>CALL/EXTERN, SYS, 'notepad.exe', WAIT, 'C:\TEST.TXT'</code>

==External Program with more arguments==
<code>$$ This example presents a .exe file with more argument, and runs independently from ARCO </code>
::<code>CALL/EXTERN,SYS, 'exename.exe', CONT, 'arg1', 'arg2'</code>

== Parameters==
The <code>WAIT</code> parameter '''SUSPENDS''' during the external program execution. 
With <code>WAIT</code> parameter the External Program SUSPENDS ARCO until the execution is over 

The <code>CONT</code> parameter '''DOESN'T''' SUSPENDS during the external program execution. 
With <code>CONT</code> parameter the External Program runs independently.

==Use of Blanks in File Name==
If blanks are present in the file path, it is necessary to enclose the entire path between inverted commas. 

<code>$$Example of white characters in the path </code>
::<code>CALL/EXTERN, SYS, '" D:\Visual Studio 2010\exename.exe"', WAIT, '" D:\Visual Studio 2010\arg1.txt"', '" D:\Visual Studio 2010\arg2.txt"'
