I put in the "arguably" in anticipation to your response anyway, heh. But yeah, in the end, it's a matter of taste anyway. I usually prefer my keywords in capitals. Might subconsciously because I'm German and we like to at least start important words with capitals, who knows.

No, it doesn't by itself. Things like proper indenting (and arguably capitalisation of keywords) also play a role. However, in my opinion it surely plays a role in the process of code beautification, making source code a whole lot more readable at first glance. And it's probably the part that's...

Doing it with a shell script works like it should, so thanks again for the help everyone. Even though I'm still curious about the possibility to change the working directory entirely.

..right, fair point. Trying that then, reporting back probably tomorrow.

Yeah, I've been considering doing something along those lines, too. But that's usually one step later, after the actual functionality is there. Currently, I'm doing what little debugging/error-checking I do by reading the screen output (i.e. inputting the command via INPUT THROUGH). However...

Hm, unless I'm missing something, this still executes the tar command within the folder the tarcmd.p exists in. Thanks for the suggestion though. Temporaily moving it to the folder where I want the tar command executed could probably work, but I want to avoid that if possible. Another similar...

Hello, first and foremost, I have read http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/P9223 regarding this, but couldn't figure out a proper solution for a unix-based system (or maybe just which external procedure I need to use in that case). I need to programmatically change the working...

Considering this, the string probably gets trimmed from the right side, which in this case of course means the entire string is trimmed. Jongpau's code still works like this, however, so BEGINS seems to work as desired: DEF VAR spaceField AS CHAR NO-UNDO. DEF TEMP-TABLE tt NO-UNDO FIELD...

Technically, there exists a language extension in PL/SQL - however it feels fairly tacked on to provide at least something. The tools to support it are also quite lacking. Having been introduced to both systems and languages as a relatively rookie developer, Progress had won me over in a matter...

So I created a simple NPP syntax highlighter for Progress 4GL as I was unable to find anything already existing. Even though this thread is years old, I thought I might as well share it, maybe it'll be of some use to someone else, too. (Especially since the OEA, even though an amazing tool in...
