It is not complicated to do. I think, the biggest thing would be to decide on the 4GL/ABL api/interface? smtpmail.p uses a single call with all the parameters/options. libcurl uses multiple calls to set parameters/options.

I definitely agree with Larry. It is not possible to wrap curl C library from 4GL/ABL. I think, the curl C library would need to be wrapped by another custom C library (.dll, .so) with a simple interface/parameters that can be wrapped by a 4GL/ABL include file or persistent procedure or class...

sadly, i agree. i was meaning to write an 4gl/abl wrapper for curl. it would easily support ssl and any other features. curl what do you guys think?

YMMV :) However, with OpenXML it would be milliseconds with practically no memory, CPU etc. resource but again I'm biased :) In regard to Word Automation Services, they can be used for converting to PDF and other file formats but in order to do mail merges or document manipulations you'll need...

Maybe I'm biased but I would strongly recommend against com-handles. Com-handles are windows only and requires Microsoft Office to be installed, creating even moderate sized documents can take minutes, resource intensive and does not scale, making it a bad server side solution and is one of the...

hi Rashi, there is no built-in support for pdf417 in pdfinclude so you'll have to find a pdf417 tool that creates an image that you can insert into your document. hope this helps!

sorry for the shameless plug but you could try free docxfactory project. docxfactory supports practically every 1d and 2d barcode in the world. basically you would just add a field {MyField pdf417} disclosure, i wrote the project.

I would personally stay as far away as possible from low level printer control codes. There are plenty of choices when it comes to tools and technologies for generating and printing graphical files, like, the free docxfactory project, pdfinclude, fob etc. I wrote docxfactory so I'm biased :)...

One of my favorite OpenEdge resources which is also cost effective is the online courses. I use it alot! Course Offerings - Progress OpenEdge Developer Catalog You might want to look at some of the free courses first. It's basically a rolling example that you could do together.

hello, in the data source parameter instead of passing a single buffer handle, pass a comma separated list of buffer handles (you can also use temp-tables, queries etc.). for example: input string( buffer item:handle) + "," + string( buffer customer:handle ) btw i see you're using the same...

you can use the slib/utils/fast-rec-cnt.p in the standard libraries project at the oehive.org the utility uses proutil idxblockreport to calc the records. note that this is not an exact number but it's pretty close. i timed it at roughly 1 second per 500,000,000 records. <code> define var i...

cool stuff! if i get some free time, i'll add the docxfactory barcode generator to the progress standard libraries project. the code is already there and working so it shouldn't be a big job. so it'll actually be a c/c++ library with a progress 4gl wrapper but it will be cross platform...

there's also a progress a .gif, .jpg, .png implementation that works on unix/linux and windows in the progress standard libraries project @oehive.org <code> <slib/slibimg.i} run img_getImageSize( input "<filename>", output iWidth, output iHeight, output dHorizDpi, output...

i also agree but it's definitely something to consider if purchasing new licenses can cost a couple hundred thousand dollars or more. for example: if you had a web ui using a javascript framework, you could use webspeed 9.1a to write a restful webservice (i believe xml dom was available back...

imho, i don't see the big urgency to upgrade (yes, even if it's older by 2 major versions) unless you need a specific features, including performance improvements etc. of course it's ideal to keep an uptodate version but there are companies who are no longer paying for support and rebuying...

plus if you compress your backups (with or without -com) the compression ratio is huge (if i'm not mistaken, around 1/7)! since most of it is text. you may want to check the backsys/ directory in the standard libraries project at the oehive.org.

there's a try/catch/finally in the progress standard libraries at the oehive.org that's compatible with version 9 or higher. the progress try catch is pretty rigid anyways. {slib/sliberr.i} define var cError as char no-undo. define var cErrorMsg as char no-undo. {slib/err_try}: run...

if you google pdf search engine software you'll most likely find something, maybe not for free. but you could probably make something quick and dirty. 1. extract the text from the pdf's using pdf2text or some other free tool. 2. save the text in the database (in clobs or a character field in...

what about incremental backups? do you need a full backup every day? btw are you saving images, blobs etc. in the database? 1 terabyte of data is extreme.

we have several databases that are approximately 60gb and it doesn't take us more than 15 minutes to do a full backup, maybe 1 minute to do an incremental backup and 15 minutes to restore. we're using openedge 11, rhel 6 and modest hardware.
