    vBulletin Upgrade to version 3 beta

    I've just realised you've deleted the post and poster, so I'll quote it - if you don't mind - for anyone reading this now in my first post, so the conversation makes more sense.

    vBulletin Upgrade to version 3 beta

    Yep. I originally posted an analysis of what was going on (IMO), before I found the wikipedia article (which doesn't cover all the bases, I think). It's quite admirable on a technical level, if not a moral one.

    vBulletin Upgrade to version 3 beta

    This is a continuation of the recent trend where either a clever spammer builds up to a spam post, or a very clever spambot does the same, or some new kind of weird and wonderful art form/cultural craze/alien experiment where random, and yet not completely irrelevant messages are lifted from...

    REPLACE/CONCAT error in compiler

    Hmm. Rereading this old thread, and bearing in mind the Sausage King of Chicago's amusing recent plea for housekeeping, I should point out that although Picasso is right in their explanation of a frequent runtime cause of this error, they were wrong in this instance, and Lee Curzon's (my)...

    DO block for single statement - pros and cons

    It's only likely to have an impact if you are running Progress on a ZX81. So its down to personal choice. ie. the second example is correct. Anyway, never mind that. Why is your DO: not aligned with your END? Here: IF iValue > 1000 THEN DO: ASSIGN iHighValue = iHighValue + 1. END.Much...

    DO block for single statement - pros and cons

    Knee-jerk preference-based responses are the only way forward, precisely because quality debates give too much weight to consideration of arguments. Its all very well having a good understanding of the subject under discussion, but shallow, tribal back-and-forth is particularly well-geared to...

    Alert Boxes

    What I am saying is that because the called program you gave an example of doesn't have any parameters, it shouldn't make a difference if you run it from batch - though you may need to handle synchronicity if you need to make sure it has finished before you continue with the rest of the calling...

    Is it possible to determind the databases connected to a specific program?

    No, although some IDE contexts will store the info (eg. SmartObjects). Think of it this way: the source file that you wish to test could have been generated by anything including non-Progress editors down to notepad, and may be invalid against any database, or compileable against multiple...

    How to eliminate an error message?

    Alert Boxes

    The code you post is odd; I presume it is just for example. The limitations you describe are odd also. Is this an academic exercise? Anyway, run it in batch mode and you won't have your messages.

    nerdy programmers...

    It was just an arbitrary number I used to serve a 'joke'. These 'ultra rare' time and dates actually occur every few months in their various combinations, though the text I received about it today from a gullible friend assured me I'd have to wait another 2000 years for the next one...
