    Api Key Authentication from Pasoe Rest Service with Rest protocol in 12.8.4

    Beware when using a web handler - if your ApiKey is in the Authorization header, you cannot access it - see https://community.progress.com/s/article/Authorization-header-is-not-sent-in-the-request-to-PASOE

    I think you can keep them static by using copy-dataset on an intermediate dynamic dataset with the loose-copy-mode argument.

    Question How CreateProcessA procedure is used in ProTop and Readprobe?

    May I suggest a slightly less copy / paste approach to using the necessary data type? This also only applies to pointers, not to bools or dwords (which are also long from the Progress point of view). Also no need for the begging to fail proversion checks, just quote the process-architecture...

    Question How CreateProcessA procedure is used in ProTop and Readprobe?

    Spam

    Check new profile posts and the members... and pfff what a spambot mess, maybe its time to close progresstalk.com down? You really need some moderation tools, first seen and last seen within a week -> delete. I think you will be left with less than 1% of the current "members".

    Question Cleanup after using a dataset

    The only thing you need is to add the somewhat counter-intuitive delete object ophDataset to the end (or finally block) of procedure B. The delete is postponed until the procedure ends. See first note of DELETE OBJECT statement:
