Hi Hans, Hi all,

I just began to do a database query via Java JDBC.
The Result i wanted to format with ConTeXt.
I now donīt know the max needed, 17 are ok for now.

This works fine for me.

Very off topic:

has someone experience in starting
a texexec run from within a Java Program?

my program for winnt

import java.io.*;
public class test {
public static void main (String args[]) {
String Kommando[] = {"cmd.exe","/c","texexec","bpl"};
    try {
     Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Kommando);
    } catch (Exception e) {
      System.err.println(e.toString());
    }
}
}

pdfetex breaks with a stack overflow.

bpl.log:

entering extended mode
**&cont-en bpl
(./bpl.tex{c:/fpTeX/texmf-var/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg
Error: pdfetex.exe
