It's not clear from your comments or your example what you're trying to do. If you have a variable or field named "pt_domain" and you want to display it where the variable "disp-field" is usually shown, then you can use the "@" operator: DISPLAY pt_domain @ disp-field . RLR

In OE, how about ADD-INTERVAL(today, -2, 'MONTH')? Don't have an OE system in front of me so can't vouch for the syntax. --Ray Robert

You didn't say which version 9, but this is a known issue with 9.1C (P5184). The official workaround until you can upgrade to 9.1D is, "To workaround the problem increase the "-n" parameter to a value that is higher than the maximum number of expected connections. " Obviously if your actual...

To my knowledge, Progress has no plans to develop a GUI that runs on Linux. Yes, you can use Windows network clients to connect to a Progress database hosted on Linux or Unix.

Not all *IXes are equally stellar. But most of them (even Linux) are an order of magnitude more reliable than Windows. Sun would assert, with some justification, that its Solaris brand of *IX is two orders of magnitude more reliable. *IXes are generally easier to secure, too, since (a)...

I'd characterize Bruno's solution (chr(var1 + 48) ) as low-tech. It's the STRING function that's high tech. The CHR solution only works, of course, under unstated assumptions about the contents of var1 (integers from 0 to 9) and language (single byte ASCII). But since it's likely to cause...

Hmm. If you're "fairly new to V9" you probably need more than "just ... a little advice." At least I've felt that way. It's not clear from your post if you want to: 1. Display different columns in the row-object 2. Display different tables entirely 3. Sort the rows differently. If...

This is not an either/or. The DISPLAY statement uses frames. If you don't explicitly define and name the frames, then it uses implicit ones. So your question really is, is it better to use a) explicitly defined frames b) implicitly defined frames It just depends on whether you need...

OpenLink Software claims in this thread that their ODBC drivers work with Progress. Technically, they do. We use them with Crystal Report Writer and Progress 7/8/9 on HP/UX 10/11 in situations where speed isn't a requirement. What OpenLink ODBC doesn't do is work with Microsoft Office 2002...

It is a business decision, not a programming decision, on how to handle people born on Feb. 29th. mr_1u has decided they have to wait until March 1st to be 18, but that may not be what the user wants.

"Form" has a very definite meaning in Progress. It's starting to sound like that's not what you mean at all. Clicking on the upper right box closes (destroys) a window, including the forms it contains. In Progress parlance, it's a WINDOW-CLOSE event. I agree with Nick. We can help you...

I'm not familiar with the TakeStock product. However, we use Progress on W2K clients with NT SP6a PDC and BDC servers and Norton 7.5 without any problem. Our Progress server, though, is Unix based. The PDC is our Norton server. I haven't rolled our applications up into .pl's yet; we've...

FOR EACH custaddr WHERE custaddr.name MATCHES "*" + name + "*" NO-LOCK:

I didn't get a lot of reassurance from Merant on their future support for Progress. And it seemed like Merant might not be able to simultaneously support Progress 8 and 9, particularly on W2000 clients connecting to a database on Unix (HP-UX 11, if anyone cares). So I'm trying out OpenLink...

Just guessing, sounds like your transaction scope is too broad. Progress may be running out of memory trying to construct an un-do entry.
