Hi All, I'm not so sure where to put this, but I think this is the most appropriate forum. These are the hardware I'm currently using: Computer 1 > Windows 2000 > 2.8 GHz CPU > 1.0 GHz RAM > 80 Gig Hard Drive Computer 2 > Windows XP > 2.5 GHz CPU > 1.0 GHz RAM > 80 Gig Hard Drive Both have...

Cheers everyone. Just a quick question, where would I be able to find intstructions on how these are used, i.e. prodict/load_df.p. I was able to load, dump, but to create an incremental... I have no idea. As I have used ProSpy, but there was not much information there as most are through the...

Hi All, This could more be a database question, but it seems to fit in the code section more. Well to me anyways... :) Now, every time I have a new version of our software, sometimes the progress database requires to be upgraded, in doing so I perform the following steps: 1) Create an Empty...

Sorry, you are right. Thanks for the tip. cheers.

Hello All, I've been trying to find out if there's a way to display the -inp value in the procedure editor or from the data administrator. Because the -inp file was not specified in the startup parameter, I'm assuming it is using 4096 characters for the max value, but I have two databases...

Hello everyone. I've been having some trouble with smart selects recently not too sure how to go about it. When having the instance properties of a smart select calling a procedure during an on change of value is pretty simple and straight forward. Now I've try to test it by keying values in...

Hi, Probably just want the BA's to have access to one DB. I've managed to find some existing code from older programs which loads up all the table names into the one combo box. I was applying the example you provided and with the _file, it could lead me to the dynamic side of things. thanks

Ok, just found a table called _file, it is an actual Progress hidden table withing the Progress Database. It has a list of all the table names, fields, formats of each fields, etc. So, I guess, the dynamic coding can start from that side?

Hi Dave, I've just tried it out, seems to be what I was looking for. Thanks! If I just apply it to a GUI, it should still be pretty similar right? I never knew you can pass in values when saying RUN PROC.P value value value. I thought the only way to pass in something was RUN PROC.P...

Hi Everyone, You are probably thinking, what the hell is this Noob talking about Dynamic For Each Statement! Ok, let me explain what I'm trying to achieve. My current working database has over 100s of tables, for my self and other developers, it' ok, because we have the knowledge of the 'For...

I was running the Pro*spy... it seems to crash if the program calls are a lot. hehehe but it did help, shows me what programs are being called and what parameter values are passed through. but the output values are not shown... Yep, I seen pro.mon. I sort of wanting to create something similar...

Thank You All. I'm going to try it now. I guess it sounds more like development... true true... sorry. But I thought I could write up something for the developers to use... or for myself and make things easier. But thanks for everyones time in explaining and giving me different approaches...

Hi All, Just a quick intro on my knowledge: I have been developing software using Progress for almost about a year now, still learning though. Although I had no training with the Language, but had similar ones like VB, SQL and other languages such as C, C++, Java, etc, I find that it's not so...
