PutWorkspaceData (External Interfaces Reference)

Store data in server workspace

Syntax

MATLAB Client

h.PutWorkspaceData('varname', 'workspace', data)
PutWorkspaceData(h, 'varname', 'workspace', data)
invoke(h, 'PutWorkspaceData', 'varname', 'workspace', data)

Method Signature

PutWorkspaceData([in] BSTR varname, [in] BSTR workspace,
[in] VARIANT data)

Visual Basic Client

PutWorkspaceData(varname As String, workspace As String,
data As Object)

Description

PutWorkspaceData stores data in the specified workspace of the server attached to handle h, assigning to it the variable varname. The workspace argument can be either base or global.

Note PutWorkspaceData works on all MATLAB data types except sparse arrays, structure arrays, and function handles. Use the Execute method for these data types.

Remarks

You can use PutWorkspaceData in place of PutFullMatrix and PutCharArray to pass numeric and character array data respectively to the server.

Server function names, like PutWorkspaceData, are case sensitive when using the first syntax shown.

There is no difference in the operation of the three syntaxes shown above for the MATLAB client.

The GetWorkspaceData and PutWorkspaceData functions pass numeric data as a variant data type. These functions are especially useful for VBScript clients as VBScript does not support the safearray data type used by GetFullMatrix and PutFullMatrix.

Examples

Create an array in the client and assign it to variable A in the base workspace of the server:

MATLAB Client

h = actxserver('matlab.application');
for i = 0:6
   data(i+1)  = i * 15;
end
h.PutWorkspaceData('A', 'base', data)

Visual Basic Client

Dim Matlab As Object
Dim data(6) As Double
MatLab = CreateObject("matlab.application")
For i = 0 To 6
   data(i)  = i * 15
Next i
MatLab.PutWorkspaceData("A", "base", data)

See Executing Commands in the MATLAB Server for more examples.
