Comments
  • If you are logged on, this macro does the action immediately online.
  • If you are working with local file records while offline, this macro marks the current record, or records selected in a list, ready (R) to batch-process the action.
Return values TRUE if the action is successful, or FALSE if not.
Example Sub Main()

     Dim CS As Object
     Dim bResult As Integer

     Set CS = GetObject(,“Connex.Client”)

     If CS.IsOnline = False Then
          CS.Logon ““, ““, ““
     End If

     CS.Search “WC”, “#1”

     bResult = CS.DeleteHoldings

     If bResult = True Then
          MsgBox “The command completed successfully”
