CHostData object. Replace the information in angle brackets with the actual
values.

Table 2-50

CHostData properties and parameters

Property

Parameter Description

<CHostData>.PhoneNumber(String)

String

Sets the phone number of the host computer.

<CHostData>.UseDialingProperties(Bool)

Bool

Sets the system dialing properties.

<CHostData>.RedialCount(Integer)

Integer

Sets the number of redial attempts before
cancelling the call.

<CHostData>.RedialDelay(Integer)

Integer

Sets the number of seconds to wait between redial
attempts.

<CHostData>.Password(String)

String

Sets the password on the host object for use with
the ExecuteProtection, ReadProtection, and
WriteProtection settings.

For security reasons, the pcAnywhere Automation
Server does not provide the ability to read the
password value. A password value is not returned.

<CHostData>.ExecuteProtection(Bool)

Bool

Sets the requirement of a password to execute the
object. Set by Password.

<CHostData>.ReadProtection(Bool)

Bool

Sets the requirement of a password to view the
properties of the host object. Set by Password.

<CHostData>.WriteProtection(Bool)

Bool

Sets the requirement of a password to save
changes to the host object. Set by Password.

<CHostData>.LogSession(Bool)

Bool

Activates and deactivates session logging.

<CHostData>.RecordFile(String)

String

Sets the fully qualified path and name to the
location of the file that records the active session.

<CHostData>.RecordSession(Bool)

Bool

Activates and deactivates automatic session
recording.

<CHostData>.ReadObject(String)

String

Sets the password for the object. You can use this
property to refresh the local data copy of the host
object.

<CHostData>.WriteObject(String)

String

Sets the password for the object. Use this property
