    Trapping error messages

    Howdy folks, I know I can trap error messages by using the error-status:error attribute but this doesn't seem to work on some errors that I am experiencing. My program can call any other program depending on the processing that it is doing, but if it calls a program, for example, that...

    Lock Table Overflows (Argghhhhhh)

    Hi All, I seem to be having a little problem that I just can't get my head round. I have a program (dataload.p) that creates or updates loads of records in my Progress database. If I run the program from the character editor the data loads OK with no more than seven records being locked...

    Hi there Rabbit, I did something a little similar a while ago and couldn't find a way of updating the calling program so when I called the second program, I hid the first programs dialog box and created a second one from the second program. I could then update it easily. I know its a bit...

    Checking for unused variables

    Hi all, I have recently decided to go through a huge lump of old source code and begin to both tidy it up and bring it into the realms of version 8 (from the dark depths of version 6!). Some of the changes will include removing work files and incorporating temp tables and things like that...

    Converting databases

    Hi there Michelle, Unfortunately I can't do anything with this file. I originally thought that it would be a unix shell script with the nature of the error message. It turns out that it is a compiled executable file which I can't read. All I can suggest is that you raise the problem with...

    Converting databases

    Hi there Michelle, It looks like the script /opt/dlc91b/bin/83dbutils/83_proutil has got a "(" where it shouldn't. If you understand shell scripts just edit the script and either strip out the extra bracket where it shouldn't be, or add the ")" where it should be. If you need any help...

    GUI Progress Problem

    Hi there again, Codepage information should also be specified in the PF file. There maybe a few different parameters specifying code page information but they are generally parameters specified with an option that begins -cp. The best way to see code pages are just look for values that...

    Upgrading from Syteline 4.0020 to 5.0010

    Hi there Rick, We run several versions of Progress on the same server in both Unix and GUI environments. We have several Progress applications, our manufacturing system is running on v8 and a really old maintenance system is running on v6 (which is now ready for the scrap heap I think). The...

    Flagging customer as obsolete

    Hi there Pam, I don't know if this will work but how about setting that customers credit limit to zero? If it doesn't stop users from using that customer completely, it should at least stop some transactions from taking place. HTH, James.

    Installation of mfgpro and progress DB in 2 different servers.

    I suppose that you could install the mfg/pro software on one server and the database on another but another question is where would you have the Progress software and how are you gonna connect the servers together? You could install the Progress Software on both servers but that would be an...

    Need Help

    Hi there Tino, If you have a support contract between yourselves and the suppliers of the accounts package then I suggest that you check the agreement before you start making changes to the data dictionary or to the data in your database via the editor as doing so may invalidate certain areas...

    Output to eMail Font Substitution

    Hi there Book, Does the Outlook client understand HTML? If so, a way that I have got round a similar problem in the past where I want to display a report in a browser is to put: <HTML> <PRE> At the top of the report and: </PRE> </HTML> At the bottom of...

    How can I move a V9 Database

    I have successfully moved databases from one directory to another by just dragging and dropping in Windows Explorer as well as using xcopy. I find both of these ways a lot faster than using procopy. the databases aren't multi volume though, they are just single files (along with all of the...

    error 785

    Hi there Michelle, Perhaps you have copied a .PF file for one database to a new database and not changed the service name in it? Or you are trying to start up a new server using a script from an already existing server that specifies the -S parameter on the command line? HTH, James.
