Hi All,

I'd like to execute a java program under a Progress session. How can i do it ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

You can always use the OS-COMMAND from within the ABL to execute anything that can run on the OS.

Heavy Regards, RealHeavyDude.

Thank you. I will try to use Java POI API to replace the currently used to generate OLE Excel files. It seems that it is much more efficient for large files. Have you ever used this type of communications? How can I get such an environment for progress? If you have any examples let me know!
