Not sure if you've already taken care of your issue, but for large updates to a db, generally on a table by table basis, I prefer to have more updates than 1 per transaction. This reduces the amount of writing to the image files, speeds up the application to the db and also will have a...

Try using the FILE-INFO options to determine if the file is writeable, I am assuming your problem is that the file is locked by someone of a different group permission as the primary user. This will allow you to check first. Use that command check in an iterative loop , perhaps showing a...

no, not calling from Progress at all. We were running a VT100 terminal emulation. Have found that running vi from unix prompt at any time before running progress executable removes cursor functions and some command keys when in the progress session, ie. traversing a CHUI menu.

Thanks Simon, The EDITING block was what I was trying to think of when I mentioned the triggers and events. Really irritating not having Progress installed on this PC to perform lookups. And no, I haven't tried those commands for use with vi, are they to be used prior to (ie. .profile) or...

Hi, I'm not certain anymore as it's been years since catering for multiple DBs in this fashion... However, I think you need to define ALIAS for the two DBs before utilising them in this fashion. Look for ALIAS or ALIAS_DB command or similar? You may run into issues if both DBs aren't...

Gday, I'd tend to agree with vinod's first thought of whether you've got some for of trigger or event action defined when the field value is changed. Or perhaps defined for the "0" key. That said,...could your terminal emulation in the v9 testing environment be incorrect? We've never...

mpowell, Can you please expand that syntax? I've never seen that usage before and can't find it in the programming guide. Are you referring to RUN STORED-PROCEDURE statement or simple RUN statement? I've only ever seen the run statement used with or without the value() command when referring...

It is possible but requires a fair amount of manipulation and repetition. We used a scroller in which every line is a line in a down frame with the information generally being held in a db or temp table and being found and displayed in offset from current record by the number of lines of the...

That somewhat depends on where you're trying to execute the code to. I'm assuming that you don't mean a program execution which can be done using run value(stringVar). "and expanded upon from there" You can exec an OS command from a value(stringVar) arrangement. In fact for cross...
