Hi,
I am an R newbie and trying to migrate from VB to R.
I downloaded data from Haver using an existing dll in VB.
For e.g. I declared functions such as
Private Declare Function DLXOpenDatabase Lib "DLXAPI32" (ByVal DBName$)
As Long
And then used them as
k = DLXOpenDatabase("W:/DLX/USECON")
MsgBox (k)
Gives me '0' showing connection established
Now I am rying to migrate this code to R and was wondering what is the
easiest way to call an external dll in R.
During my research I found this link
http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/compilingDLLs/existingD
LL.html
But it seems to be old with expired links to further help pages.
Can any one guide me on how best to connect to external dll's from R and
if there is any easier way than writing a wrapper dll ?
Thanks
Puneet
