prowin32 starting procedure parameters

[ruiaraujo]

Hi all.
I need to pass a parameter to a starting procedure witch is itself a parameter of prowin32.exe ms-dos file.

This is wrong:

prowin32 -b d:\database_name -p dump_d.r ("table_name")

I read somewhere that can also use

dump_d.r ("all")

Help me doing it right.

I wish to export a table to a .d file automaticaly, using a ms-dos batch file, so it runs every night in scheduled tasks.

I'm a newbie in this language and I can't figure it out by myself because I haven't got the compiler installed. This way I can't do experiments with self-made procedures. So my only way out is using the already-compiled ones.

Thank you.

Have you tried referencing the .p or .w instead of the .r? Also, you may want to reference an .ini file (-ini filename.ini) which lists the propath for the instance of Progress. Make sure the first folder in the propath is the folder where the .r is.

"c:\program files\bin\prowin32.exe" -b d:\database_name -p dump_d.w

(dump_d.w would need to contain the entire query, including the table name to dump.)

We keep our .r's in a separate folder from the .w's and that folder is the first folder in the propath.
