Patrick,
Thanks kindly for identifying your installed version of RAndFriends.
Anybody else out there?
So, I installed the identified version (RAndFriendsSetup2090V3.0-14-2.exe), but
it did not fix the string problem.
This simple code gives me garbage in the Interpretation window for the string
return (bb):
/*
R-Test-06.afl
Simple test of setting numeric and string values on R side and then
returning them.
Observe the output in the interpretation window.
Using AB 5.30.1, the string part fails with:
RAndFriendsSetup2090V3.0-14-2
RAndFriendsSetup2092V3.0-17-2
Cause of failure: Unknown
*/
// Numeric works fine
RMathProcedure("RandomVarA = 122.0 + 8.0");
aa = RMathGetValue("RandomVarA");
printf( "RMath numeric Return Value: " + NumToStr(aa, 1.2) + "\n" );
// String does not work
RMathProcedure("RandomVarB = <DQ>Abcde<DQ>");
bb = RMathGetValue("RandomVarB");
printf("RMath alpha Return Value: " + bb + "\n" ); //garbage instead of Abcde
If this works correctly for you, I'm nearly ready to punt, as I have no clue at
all what to do to fix the issue if it is unique to me, and I realize there is
no place to inquire for specific assistance with this sort of interop issue on
a non-commercial, non-open-source contribution such as RMath. (And I just got
over how to load a file into a time series in R itself ! <g>)
OTOH, if this does not work for you, well, you probably want to know.
Finally, if this does not work for you, and you know it, and you just proceed
anyway to do what interests you without ever getting or needing to get back
strings as shown, that would be good to know too. What's important to me, and
perhaps some others, is to know what should be expected to work and what
shouldn't.
Thanks kindly,
- Progster
