    New Progress SupportLink Kbase?

    Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else find the new SupportLink kbase more user-unfriendly with less options than before (no email, no direct lookup of error numbers, etc etc). I could go into detail of all the little annoyances that were not present before it was moved to salesforce.com ...

    Connecting to the progress database using jdbc to retrieve the infirmation from the t

    Re: Connecting to the progress database using jdbc to retrieve the infirmation from t I'm not sure that dbtool was available for 9.1B. I don't think it was introduced until 9.1D06. You may want to check your Progress install directory/bin to see if dbtool is there.

    for each table exclusive-lock: if num-entries(table.myfield,"|") > 1 then do: assign table.myfield = entry(1,table.myfield,"|"). end. end. other possibliities exist (using alternate buffer, include the if then in a where clause, etc), but this is a quick and dirty.

    Barcode printing issue

    Have you checked the Okidata web site for the manual(s) on what escape sequences to send to the printer for your specific model of printer? In general, there are escape sequences that are sent to the printer to switch the fonts from/to barcodes. I did a quick google search and found several...

    Procedure

    So Tom if I have this right: Persistent procedures are like when your kids ask for something ... "buy me that toy? please? Daddy, will you buy me that toy? please please please?" and Super procedures are like when your wife asks you for something... usually with a specific tone of voice...

    Progress 9.1C and Fedora

    Your forum 'etiquette' needs some work. Name calling when RHD gave you an honest answer doesn't lend itself to anyone helping you. Installing any ancient, unsupported, no longer sold software is always a crap shoot, and no matter what is done it may or may not work. As for Fedora 14, it's...

    Progress (UNIX 8.2C) Fails at Startup

    1. The .lk file is created on startup of the Progress db. Performing a dir list showing it there now proves nothing, as it should be there as long as the db is up and running. What RHD was telling you is someone logged in as root rm'd while the db was up and still running. The only thing...

    What is the ideal data type to use when storing latitude/longitude (Geo Co-ordinates)

    Re: What is the ideal data type to use when storing latitude/longitude (Geo Co-ordina We use decimal with a scale of 6 decimal places. This (I believe) gives you a precision of ± 0.08 m. Latitudes south of the equator are negative, and longitudes west of the prime meridian are negative.

    Here are a few references for the PCL escape sequences: http://www.nefec.org/UPM/ccPCLfrm.htm http://pcl.to/reference/ Otherwise, I'd suggest going to the manufacturer web site for documentation on the PCL escape sequences for that particular printer.
