Can someone tell what date range we can enter to OpenEdge DB. Is it correct it could be in the range of 01/01/1950 - 01/01/2049 ? so if someone enters from application (mm/dd/yy format) a date of 12/20/80, then progress understands it as 1980 date instead of 2080? is that right? Or this is...

Hello All - I am stuck in one situation where I need to understand - How can I achieve the For each block on the basis of some condition. I am using OpenEdge 11.1. I want to achieve something like that as I mentioned below (I know the below one is erroneous): If condition-1 then do...

ALL - Could any one explain whats the basic differences between FORM and a FRAME. And what we can achieve from the one which we cannot from the other. Because till now I am not able to find any such difference. So please help in understanding the actual concept behind the 2 for most of our...

You can either do it at the time of variable definition by specifying the font for that variable like: DEFINE VARIABLE xyz AS CHAR NO-UNDO FONT <Specify a font for the variable>. OR you can also define it at the time of FORM and FRAME definition, like for which field in that form and frame have...

I believe you need to use format with some more width for that data in for each while display. Is that data is char or date??? Progress usually returns "?" for unknown value in date or when the data is more in widht than the display width of that field. you can use display field-name format...

I don't think that will be a good solution to compile each file and then serach each files xref file. Because in actual I have 1545 files in the directory and it will also take a lot of space to save each files Xref. Could anyone suggest something other than that with some code snippet. I will...

Thanks everyone for answering my doubt and specially "trx" because that was most useful to me.

Thanks ... but I mentioned in my earlier mail too, that I can't change the properties of the fill-in, so I can't make it native = true in property sheet. All are mentioned in my earlier mails ... and whatever i tried that too i mentioned in my earlier mail ... Could you let me know is it...

Yes right I am aware of it that through Native I can achieve that (as i mentioned in my earlier replies). But, that is what my doubt is which i explained above. By default properties of fill-in are set as "DISPLAY" "ENABLE" "NO-UNDO" checked. and I can't change those properties. I need to...

@SergioC : As I mentioned in my earlier doubt, that I don't want Sensitive as it won't show the fill-in box. Any other suggestion will be helpful.

I tried: myFillin:read-only = true. >>> But we don't want that as it will allow the cursor to that fill-in (using tab or mouse). myFillin:sensitive = false. >>> But we dont want that as it will disappear the whole fill-in box. myFillin:hidden = true. >>> but we dont want that as we...

Hi, On a smart window, I placed one Fill-in. Now my requirement is to grey-out the fill-in (or we can say to disable the fill-in but it's box should be visible) by the use of coding (not by setting it's property). I.e. suppose when we add a fill-in on smart-window - by default properties...
