Hello, I have been introduced to J recently and I have a question regarding J / Excel interaction.
My goal is to use J from Excel. I'm normally using J 6.02 (64 bits). >From the documentation, it seems there are 2 options to achieve this: Option1) Use OLE/COM with 'JDLLServer' Option2) Use 'J.DLL' directly with a direct call. (Win32 load/call) However, I have the feeling that OLE/COM is no more supported for the 64 bits version and for newer version of J (7.01), J (8.01). See doc: Menu Help, User Manual, Tutorial: J OLE Server for Excel file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/j64-602/help/user/tutorial_ole_server_excel.htm file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/j64-602/help/user/j_ole_auto_server.htm Quote:"J64 servers have not been tested and are not officially supported." Quote: "J.DLL (J32 and J64) can be called directly (Calling J.DLL<file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/j64-602/help/user/calling_jdll.htm>) without using OLE." So my question is: What is the preferred way to call J from Excel. (or another software..) Should I use the J.DLL directly or still use the COM/OLE support ? Thanks for your help. ssinfod ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
