True enough ... but testable. I just think that people forget about work-tables these days, but they are a good fit for some use cases.

By the same token, if the above satisfies your need, you could use a WORK-TABLE instead of a TEMP-TABLE.

Did you try just Break by Col1 by Col9 Why are you breaking on all of those columns?

Oh, and there is no trademark symbol in ibm850 either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_850

8859-1 has no trademark symbol ... which might be contributing to your problem. I suggest you dump that record and look at what is in it with a hex editor. I am also curious about what you are doing in that code. You initialize trademark as "(ä)". This is three valid characters in 8859-1...

And, what you need to search for will be determined by the code page of your database (and how you search may be influenced by the code page of your session). The ALT0153 is not a hex pattern that is stored in the database, but a keystroke pattern for entering that character. Once entered, it...

Alt0153 is the key combination for entering the code, not the code in the code page of the database. If your database is Unicode, then the code in the DB should be U+00AE ... I think.

Assuming that this is an implementation of the game of Life that appeared in Scientific American many years ago and apropos of nothing to do with Progress, but back in the mid-70s I was part of an R&D project creating self-instructional materials and computer-simulated laboratories to teach...

Rob is on point. As written, the formatting is being done at compile time so room needs to be left for the longest possible value. If that is not what you want, compose the string in advance, clean up as needed, and display the string as a whole ... or, use put unformatted, which would be...

It just seems to me that examining 10,000 files and not actually doing anything with them is a pretty unusual requirement ... I have to wonder if there aren't better OS tools for the purpose (he says, having built similar things).

I have to wonder what you are doing that the performance of file-info is an issue ...

Did you try PUT UNFORMATTED name "|" addr[1] "|" addr[2] "|" city "|" state "|" zipcd skip.

If it matters that you have the absolute latest value at some point in your code, then read it again. In particular, if you are updating a record, read it no-lock, do any UI, read it again, check whether the original is different from the current, if the same, then commit your changes, if not...

Did you look in the license file? In general, neither is going to expire. Your maintenance may expire and there are some special kinds of licenses like the old PSDN licenses which expire, but in general database and software licenses don't expire unless they are SaaS.

I have heard, over the years, of shops that didn't allow e-mail, so no PEG( when it existed) and shops that don't allow browsing, but the idea of allowing ProgressTalk and not Progress Communities is like expecting you to touch type in mittens.

Embedded nulls?

You would have to do a huge amount of work to just duplicate what is available in off the shelf tools. You might ask this question on Progress Communities ... I think there are more big shops there which are more likely to use such tools.

Point out to your IT chief that, not only will it cost him a lot more to get an internal solution (your time), he will keep paying and paying and paying for future research tasks which would otherwise be free using ProTop. Not using it is silly.

Not true today in this very forum! :{

One might note that "batch" and "CHUI" are mutually exclusive ... :)
