Hi, All,

Does somebody have experience on call a generic dll function via command, and get the result?

Something like call otcdll001.helloword, via ba, and get the result "Hello world"?

Thanks.

Err, something like exec_dll_function() (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_dll_exec_dll_function)?

Not sure i understand this, but what do you mean by generic dll function? You can call a Dll extern function and get returned a string..But dont think you want that.

What I did once was write a session to call a dll - that was all it did. It basically ran the DLL function and wrote to a file. This way I you could run ba6.1 executable and get the data. Then I could read the file if needed - never did really use it and doubt I even have the code anymore.

mark_h,

Smart idea!
Basically, I think it caused that ba6.1 executable method is asynchronous, not synchronization method.
Of course, in a general session or dll to store the result to 'TMP' place, then access the 'TMP' place using the GUID key, could be a smart idea. Something like MQ etc.
What's your idea?

Thanks.
