RPC HELP XWB DIRECT RPC
XWB DIRECT RPC
Use this RPC to request that an RPC be run on a remote system. This RPC blocks all other Broker calls until the results of the remote RPC are returned. Use XWB REMOTE RPC to allow other Broker activity while the remote RPC runs. See Options for Running RPCs on a Remote Server for a comparison of the two methods.

RPC PARAMETER: Pass the name of the RPC to be run in Param[1].Value, and the type (literal) in Param[1].PType.
RPC VERSION PARAMETER (Optional): Pass minimum version of RPC to be run in Param[2].Value, and the type (literal) in Param[2].PType. It will be checked against the value in the RPC Version in the Remote Procedure File on the remote VistA M Server.
PARAMETERS TO THE REMOTE RPC: Pass up to seven parameters for the remote RPC in Param[3] through Param[9].
