Whatever you say. :shrug:

No, SDO is NOT ambig. SDO stands for Smart Data Object, a type of Smart Object. A smart data viewer is not an SDO, it is another type of Smart Object, etc...

mpowell, have you got a chip on your shoulder? He told you EXACTLY where to put them - in the SDO. I suspect had he known your attitude, he would have suggested somewhere else. :confused:

Warning: One does have to be careful with just the FIND, though, because if the fields supplied do NOT comprise a complete unique index, the FIND without the FIRST can fail, EVEN IF THERE IS A MATCH. This will happen when there are multiple records meeting the requirements. I tend to use FIND...

Joey.jeremiah may may be thinking of just plain "by" rather than "break by". That is I think, the equivalent of the SQL "group by".

I wonder how many people are using the SQL92/Java as the basis for their apps.

The Progress SQL 92 guide says you can create Java stored procedures. I know there is no such thing on the 4GL side, but if one uses the SQL engine, Vinod_home, your statement is incorrect.

Excuse me, I meant FOR FIRST, not FIND FIRST, but my statement applies to both.

No disrespect, it just that what you said was incorrect. Both the FIND and the FOR EACH will bring a record into the buffer, if one is available of course. And, unless it is retrieved with NO-LOCK,it can be updated with an exclusive or shared lock. I'm wondering if you are confusing the FIND...

I'm confused about the threads. Are you saying you missed what you think I wrote about the streams, or are you addressing someone else? Because I said nothing about streams, I just added that one reply agreeing with you.

I would also look for a file named "tmpFileName" in your working directory :)

mpowel, I hate to say this, but just about everything you said is wrong. Joey.jeremiah is correct.

check to see if there is an unprintable character in there. get-child will see it if there is.

mProps should be declared as a variable of type "RAW". What am I missing?

I suppose you could try a binary dump - but what are you trying to learn?

Because Progress programmers like us are too cheap to by his book? :-)

By the way the guy that wrote that book at the Allegro site you listed "Coding Smart", is sitting a few cubes over from me :) He's been trying to get us to buy it, but we figure we can save some cash and just bug him all the time :awink:

Exactly. I have found that you can put together something workable very quickly but then one hits a brick wall. :-)

While the Progress Language Reference is quite good, the ADM2 library documentation is not so great - but perhaps I just don't where to look. I'm learning from my colleagues and by trial an error so I'm in the same boat as you are, really. There are a number of thrid party publications - google...

By the way, depending upon what you are doing, if you have established the proper links, what you are trying to do may not be necessary.
