It really is not Progress but OpenEdge. The name was changed many many moons ago. I do cop it that this site is still called ProgressTalk, but it is important to remember the correct name because it could help you find a solution: What version of OpenEdge is your QAD running on? If its using...

Looks like you are trying to instantiate the object (form) with <object variable> = new frmEMaint() when it should be <object variable> = new UI.general.frmEMaint().

Hi there! How do you call this from within OE? Do you call a web service? Any chance of showing some sample code of how to implement it?

I would not be able to tell you if it works on that OE version (its is too old and I have no access to test with it) We have not used anything but 10.2 for a long time now (and we are about to migrate to 11). Theoretically you should not have to do anything to your propath, what is important...

I don't think there is one, sorry

Hi, As per the OpenEdge help: In character mode, the WIDTH-CHARS attribute must be set before the browse is realized. Attempting to set the attribute after realization of the browse causes a run-time error.

Now THAT is obscure (and somewhat disturbingly scary?)

You are right and also showing your age ;)

DISPLAY NO-LOCK - 1 = SHARE-LOCK.and DISPLAY SHARE-LOCK - EXCLUSIVE-LOCK + SHARE-LOCK = NO-LOCK.

Not so much language related so a somewhat off-topic but I certainly remember the struggle with the r-code size limitations (what was it, 32kb max for a .r?). And then of course there was of the "fantastic" code editor prior to v6 where one wrong keystroke could overwrite your hard work with an...

I like calling that "Yes/No/Maybe" :)

Have you investigated the option of doing the web service call asynchronously (using the ASYNCHRONOUS option)? This would allow your code to keep running and do other things while the web services goes about it's business. You then process the response when the web service call has finished.

No, line-counter only works on paged streams. It is intended help you to keep a count of what the line and on which page (page-number) as line numbers cycle back to 1 on a page-change. To keep a line counter of a non-paged stream you could use an integer variable and increment on output of each...

I had to do something similar - displaying a full-screen borderless OpenEdge window on a TV. Initially I just extended the Windows Desktop and set the X and Y of the OpenEdge Window to the top left coordinates of the extended screen. I had it set to the right of my main screen so I just set the...

Hi Linus, I don't think it can be longer than 63 characters. The help text is displayed in the status area of the window and that has a maximum size of 63 characters. The format of the _help field is also 63 characters; this does not limit the field contents to that length, but does format it...
