    Data Dictionary

    Mind you I'm just spouting ideas off the top of my head... If you're accessing local databases from a character mode procedure editor running in a terminal emulator (vt100, vt200, etc.) session -- why are you specifying -S, -N, and -H parameters in the .pf? Those are parameters that belong in...

    Data Dictionary

    Having never worked with HPUX (always AIX) and not being familiar with the "sh" shell (always "ksh") -- I'm not sure what, if any, idiosyncrasies those two environments introduce. Barring anything there, I notice that your prgm script exports PROCFG and PROPATH twice --...

    > Which platform are you on? > What command (exact syntax) are you using to start the editor? Also, what are your environment settings (especially PATH, PROPATH, and DLC) Thanks, sshowers

    Just a guess, but I'm betting you're starting the editor with either no -- or the empty -- database attached. If you're still experiencing this problem please expound: Which platform are you on? What command (exact syntax) are you using to start the editor? Thanks, sshowers

    Data Extract from Progress 9.1C

    To combine and cross-index data from multiple tables you're going to need to develop a custom procedure. It's fairly straightforward... Hope this helps, sshowers

    Excel - Open a group of workbooks from a macro?

    Gavona: Thank you for asking the questions because thinking through the answers helped me solve the problem. Since you've asked, I'll answer: 1. Yes, I had stepped through the code. 2. Answer below, but this was the problem! 3. Bad habit. The macros were in different workbooks because, as...

    Excel - Open a group of workbooks from a macro?

    Thank you, both, for your prompt replies (stars to be awarded). I have merged both approaches but am, however, experiencing the same as my initial test. The "automation" workbook calls the first file and runs its auto open query but control never comes back to the calling program to...

    Excel - Open a group of workbooks from a macro?

    Background: In the middle of the night I have my data warehouse set to dump five .csv files to a set directory on one of my NT servers. At a pre-defined time, the NT server starts Excel and the "Auto Open" macro of the workbook (specified on the command line) copies a .csv file into...

    compiling using a batch program

    I'm not sure you know it, but I think you're actually asking several questions. Yes, you can compile one or more procedures with a batch-mode Progress session. Some operating systems (Unix, for example) accomplish this easier than others. At the most basic level, you need a script to start...

    Zebra Thermal Printers

    I had to climb into the "way back machine" to resurrect this code, so bear with me. It is part of a program I wrote to create barcoded packaging labels on Zebra Z105 printers connected to a Unix (AIX) host for a maunfacturing company. The printer code itself is ZPL but the concept...

    How can I use the FOR EACH... WHERE against an array?

    Without better understanding the details of what you are really trying to accomplish and the size of the base tables I would, for clarity sake, probably approach your example something like: def var v-i as int no-undo. def var v-l as logi no-undo. for each record no-lock...

    How can I use the FOR EACH... WHERE against an array?

    Help us understand what you mean by "hard-coded array". Did you: def var v-array as char no-undo init "A,B,C,D,E". Or, did you: def var v-array as char format "x" extent 5 no-undo. assign v-array[1] = "A" v-array[2] =...

    DOS Bat File Need Help

    As a developer and/or consultant, however, the meddlesome "net" (and "subst") commands are nice to know because you can map a drive that configures your development system to mimic the client's production system without having to reset UNC resource names. --sshowers

    DOS Bat File Need Help

    From a DOS prompt (or a .bat file) the 'net use' command will map, or re-map, a drive. For example, in my environment I have a server named 'vader' and another named 'skywalker'. If I type: net use p: \\vader\market /yes From Windows explorer I will see the newly mapped 'P:' drive...

    DOS Bat File Need Help

    You want the "net use" command. It's been a LONG time, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but your command would look something like: net use p: \\computer\direcotry /yes You should be able to type: "net use /? | more" from a DOS prompt to get the proper syntax. Hope...

    How to un-install Progress 9.1C

    Because you have two releases of the same version installed you might run into problems no matter how you try to uninstall the product. I would suggest that you visit the Progress Tech Support Knowledgebase at: http://esupport.progress.com/ and search for KB article #18709 related...

    Sending e-mails from access

    I have seen this behavior before and, if I remember correctly, it is related to either security settings in IE or a security "hot fix" Microsoft published some time ago. In my case it only happened on a development box, not in production, so I never actually "fixed" it...

    variable Columns in FORM HEADER

    The problem in your scenario is "{1}". Because a Progress frame is a static layout the Frame Manager needs to know -- at compile time -- where all of the elements go. A variable, by definition, varies and is therefore not static. The following, however, will work: File 1: frame.i...

    variable Columns in FORM HEADER

    Gregor: I do not currently have access to the UIB to test this out in GUI but I know the following works in 8.3C CHUI: File 1: frame.i form header "Country" at {1} with width 40 page-top column {2} frame ccc. File 2: prog.p {frame.i 1 10} view frame ccc. Changing the first...

    variable Columns in FORM HEADER

    Short answer: No Long answer, according to Jedi Master John Campbell of White Star Software: "A frame in Progress is a static layout whose configuration is determined at the time a program is compiled. It is a memory structure that is composted of text, labels, and data elements...
