BlueZone OLE Automation

OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) is a Microsoft Windows standard for communications between applications. BlueZone can be linked to Windows applications like Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel that support OLE.

In addition, BlueZone Host Automation Object can be used as a language-independent programmatic interface to BlueZone.

Refer to BlueZone Host Automation Object for more information.

Using OLE, it is possible to use link Microsoft Word to BlueZone in support of "mail merge" applications where the names and addresses are stored on a Mainframe (or other host) and the text of the form letters are stored and formatted in Word. You could link Word to BlueZone and "pull" the names and addresses into the Word document from the Mainframe via the OLE interface.

Also, you could link BlueZone to Microsoft Excel and have data that appears in the BlueZone emulation screen, automatically appear in an Excel spreadsheet.
