How can i run a progress program from a batch file in Windows NT?

by  AdzDaz  Posted    (Edited  )
You can do this by calling the progress executable(prowin32.exe) with all your database connection parameters from your batch file.

An example (note it expects environment variable DLC to be set):

@echo off
echo Starting progress...
%DLC%\BIN\PROWIN32.EXE -db yourdb -H yourHost -S yourPort -p yourProgram.r

Its a good idea to call a single program that steps through each .r to run. That way, your system only has to load up PROWIN32.EXE once.
