Use this Function Instruction to trigger an external document or program and, if needed, wait 
for it to be closed again.

Provided you enter a document for "Executable program" whose file extension is properly reg-
istered under Windows, the system will start the corresponding program and open the docu-
ment.

If you want to write e-mails from within your DCO-Script, all you need to do is create a new But-
ton and assign a Function with this Function Instruction to it. Then simply enter "mailto:<E-Mail-
Address>" (e.g.: 

mailto:my.admin@my-company.de

) in the argument "Executable program".

In the same way you can also open a PDF-file by entering the full path of the file in the argument 
"Executable program", e.g.:

\\my-server\iso9001\standardoperatingprocedure\alarms\alarmcalls.pdf

.
