There are many ways to get data into a model and to save results into another application or file, depending on the type and quantity of data. These range from simple Copy and Paste between applications, to reading and writing text files, Excel spreadsheets, and databases. You can also use OLE linking and COM automation between applications. You can Read data from URL on internet, or call another application from Analytica using RunConsoleProcess. See the sections below for details.
