First of all for those that read my post in chit chat about moving to a modern OS without upgrading 10.2, well "progress" has been made and I've at least convenience management that a special project to modernize a portion of the app deserves a modern development environment. Introducing 11.5...

Thanks to everyone for your insight. CYA has become my focus. I've planted the "risk" seed. We'll see if it grows.

I'm probably thinking all wrong but just in case I would love some validation, suggestions, or plain all fashion "Rod, Your stupid" comments. I work for a publicly traded company (no names please) with a significant number of installations. We're running OpenEdge 10.2A (un-patched) on Suse...

rajendran, The results are the same and the code is parsing correctly. If you need to see leading zero's then you would need to format the display. Something like: display lv-intresult format "999999999999". Rod

Thanks again Greg, I think I'm going to move on. This is for the scientific lab and not production in the field so while it will stay in memory it works and the overhead seams to be low (no db connectivity as well (only temp-table)). Rod

I'm currently testing running the 'c' program persistently. The communication is via an input/output memptr. The memptr is set back to zero after every use.

10.2A Linux (New to OO) I have a working class that audit's information being sent to an external 'c' program (not really relevant). The problem is I need to shared the instance of the class between two programs (program A calls B several times). To accomplish this I created and static...

You'll find all the current documentation at the address below. Rod https://community.progress.com/community_groups/openedge_general/w/openedgegeneral/1329.openedge-product-documentation-overview.aspx

RealHeavyDude, Got your approach to work and that's exactly what I was looking for. I can really see the power of learning this. I think I'm starting to sip the cool-aid:) thanks to everyone, Rod

Thanks Stefan, I'm currently trying both approaches and will review the referenced link. Just to clarify your first sample code...and this is something I think I missed in all the examples is if you want something to fire right away you put it inside the constructor as oppose to a separate...

Sorry Yes 10.2A. So Future upgrades (if I can every what one) won't support ABL OO?

I'm dragging myself kicking and screaming into the world of OO. I'm trapped in a 11.2A (Linux) world right now so I know things are limited but it's a start by just trying to understand the basics. I started by trying to remove some of my pub/sub logic. The program below works (yea!) however...

Tom, TheMadDBA, If you wouldn't mind I was hoping you could either validate or disprove my final assessment. Actually Tom's comment "start by verifying things that should be true" lead me down the path. Here is what I discovered (facts/observations): I was trying to run in excess of 170K...

Thanks TheMadDBA & Tom. I'll update when I figure it out. Have a great Labor Day weekend.......FYI Tom I agree and added the BY REFERENCE:) R

Thanks for hanging in there with me. Here are my latest findings: "lsof -p <PID>" verified it is the srt file "dd if=/dev/zero of=/protemp/bigfile bs=1G count=3" verified support I do want to verify my understanding of one thing. Tom said: "You *are* doing things with handles. Specifically...

Thanks for all the responses. While it's not my first rodeo I'm assuming I'm doing something stupid. To clarify when I used the term "lab" I was referring to our development server in the "lab". The db and associated data are the same. I even performed a prorest to assure no differences...

Thanks for the response. 0) Yes it is the SRT file. Same condition you would usually get with an index rebuild. The DBI file is large but consistent. About 200 Meg. You get SYSTEM ERROR: Seek error 22, file 30, addr -2147483648. (163) . The same as an index rebuild. 1) It's just a...

First time poster. I applogize in advance if I missed anything of value. 10.2A Linux Issue: srt file hits 2 gig and crashes (this is not an index build). I have a new program that has to make calls to a fairly old "processing engine" as they call it that might run through 8-10 scenarios...
