How do you talk to the appserver? What version of progress are you on? Do you know how to call an appserver and execute remote procedures? (OpenEdge 11.7 Documentation)

Mike, Just try it in a dev sandbox and run some tests. Little bit of effort up front will save a lot of pain later. - Jason

This code does need internet access for it to work. what?

Done that :(

Hire these guys.

If you ever used a mix of procedure editor and appbuilder this can get really annoying. Editing something past appbuilder limits in procedure editor without realising, only to open it in appbuilder later for it to go mental at you.

Am i going crazy or is this a bug? If i call PAS async from session 1. exit session 1 before session 2 finishes its execution then session 2 bombs out without finishing. do i need to put an await in session 1 or something?!?

We had a similar issue with Irish employee's. O'Meara still haunts me to this day. My idea of sacking him to resolve it didn't go down well either. Can you escape them on the input?

Progress is pretty resilient in terms of record reads and performance. We just had a warning from our MDBA(Bravepoint) as we are averaging 30 billion record reads per day but application performance is alright. Praise the lord for a good database to mask crappy code.

Is the question "How do i consume a web service via ABL?" If so literally copy and paste "Openedge how to call a web service" into google. If you get issues with SSL etc after following the google available guides, ill be happy to help.

We use an online wiki as reference guide for our applications, storing useful bits of developer information and DevOps process guides etc. example :- Wikidot - Free and Pro Wiki Hosting (We have sharepoint so no idea if the above is any good)

Anyone got any metrics for Fixed/Variable extent performance on different storage media under different loads? I always thought it was a good idea back in the days of spinning disks to have Fixed extents but i have been wondering if it actually matters now a days? If not ill collect some data...

:(

DEF BUFFER bufrromat FOR rromat. FOR EACH ralmat NO-LOCK WHERE ralmat.brdok BEGINS "pft": FOR EACH rromat NO-LOCK WHERE rromat.brnal EQ ralmat.brnal: FIND bufrromat EXCLUSIVE-LOCK WHERE bufrromat."uniqueprimaryindex" EQ rromat."uniqueprimaryindex"...

Ok great. Thanks for posting an update with the solution, very helpful for the future! Please try and make upgrading an option.

The locking state isn't the only thing that needs updating. Upgrade your progress version and use find current.

Yeah i'm slightly disappointed this isn't about WoW or something similar.

Create multiple temp-tables first. Populate them in the structure you want from your original table, then do the above on the temp-tables.

Yeah i wouldn't use it. But i am almost interested enough to find out if it works cross database though. hmmm.

Some demo code in the "notes" section of the below KB article. Progress KB - 4GL/ABL: OUTPUT TO PRINTER creates a file instead of printing with some USB printers.
