The set-functions set properties that affect the client connection to the Report Server.
Therefore, it makes no sense to call them after a call to PEConnect, so the following code
will generate an error message:
PEHANDLE gwHandle;
BOOL bOK;
/* Connect to "butterfly" host. */
PEInitRemote("butterfly.acme.com");
/* Get Gateway handle. */
gwHandle = PEGetGateway();
/* Following call generates an error! */
if ( !PEGatewaySetWait(gwHandle, 120) ) {
ReportError(); goto close;
}
