    Question 32 bit and 64 bit progress 9.1d version doubt

    If you have tools for both 32 and 64 bit ....it's six of one or half a dozen of the other. If all your code runs on the 64 bit version, and you don't need to support any 32 bit machines there is no real reason to not use the 64bit version. The crunch is going to be when you move from 9.1D to...

    Upgrade from 9.1E to 12.8 (Windows)

    Hi neighbor! By now , you could/should (MUST) get your hands on an evaluation of the version you are about to leap onto. 9.1e on server 2022 and or W11 is not unheard of. Just not talked about in public. For a variety of reasons, some good, some bad. There is no reason to not look before you...

    Copying Changes from one DB to Another

    As much fun as it is to be dumping and loading data in pursuit of application functionality, it should be within the capabilities - but perhaps "below the pay-grade" - of a developer dealing with a "complex banking system" to write a exportmenusettings.p and importmenusettings.p For some...

    Question Apple Wallet and Google Wallet generation in OpenEdge ABL.

    If there is another payment solution already in place, it might be easier to extend it , rather than adding a-la-cart applepay and google wallet. Whoever is reconciling payments might thank you down the road.
