As far as I know there is no way of knowing this from within your client session. If your connect "works" there is an appserver available, if it fails there is not (provided of course your connection parameters etc are all ok). What you can of course do as a human being is to check the status of...

What I generally do in preference to using com objects to generate Excel files is to generate them in xml. Then just give them the .xls extension and Bob's your uncle. By doing it this way you can generate the files on both Windows and Unix/Linux without any problems - you will of course still...

You can create a dynamic frame with the create frame <widget handle> statement (look it up in the manual for full details). Likewise you can dynamically create the objects in the frame (for instance, create fill-in <widget-handle>). You can also create a static frame and add objects to it...

I cannot wait to get my hands on it and see those annoying reference-only temp-table bugs resolved. Bring it on :)

Try this: For each ld_det where ld_domain = global_domain and ld_part = wod_part and ld_site = wo_site and not ld_status begins "reject" no-lock: HTH Paul

Not as far as I am aware. Perhaps you can have a look in the Progress Samples disc or on PSDN. Also there are plenty of threads in ProgressTalk relating to the TabStrip OCX, so a bit of searching on PT may be helpful too. It may also be helpful to use the Progress Object Viewer (proobjvw.exe...

I do not know whether this will resolve your specific problem but we have had a lot of problems with 10.1B dying on us for no aparent reason. Since we have been running on 10.1C (SP1) this does not appear to be happening anymore. Paul

I think I may have already seen another post from you regarding tab folders yesterday (to which I did reply)? My apologies if this is not the case... Anyway, best bet is to use the Microsoft TabStrip OCX control 6.0 (SP6). It should be able to do everything your client requires. There are...

Hi Jose, If you mean a tab-folder then yes, you can use the Microsoft Tab-Strip OCX control. It should be available through AppBuilder by dropping an OCX control onto your frame and then selecting "Microsoft TabStrip Control 6.0 (SP6)" HTH Paul

That is impossible to answer as it would completely depend on your application....

Perhaps, when you are new at Progress, you want to have a read through the documentation - it's available online. It may also be wise to invest in some Progress training. Surely you are not just jumping in to build an application (even a demo) in a language / database you have never used before...

My best guess is it would be something like this (you will have to change it to make it work with your database tables of course): <!--WSS define variable cLogin as character no-undo. define variable cPassword as character no-undo. define variable cMessage as character no-undo. assign...

When you resize your window, you will have to resize the frames inside the window as well.. the scrollbars you see may either be on the window OR on the frame. If you already resize the frames on the window resized and window maximized etc events, then you probably have the scrollbars on the...

Hi, Those files are "work" file of your appserver sessions (normal 4GL clients also create files like these by the way). They are used to store temp-tables and do sorting and all sorts of other beautiful stuff. And nope, as far as I know Progress does not waste any time truncating them, except...

If you cannot change the structure of the table(s) as in, add fields and stuff, maybe you *can* add a database trigger? As far as I know that does not have any impact on the r-code. A write trigger could be used to output some information into a new database table where you can record table...

I believe it is "the standard" for the windows character client shortcut :awink: Glad it's fixed though - it has been annoying me a couple of times as well until I found the cause and remedy. Paul

Hi, Yes, that can indeed happen, but there is a very simple resolution. Just go into the properties of the Windows shortcut to your character client. Go to the Layout tab. Then change the Height of the Screen Buffer Size to 25 lines and hit the Apply button. Next time you use the shortcut...

Or to make it a little more robust: DEFINE VARIABLE a AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. DEFINE VARIABLE b AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. a = '633598642076131250'. b = IF LENGTH(a) GT 3 THEN SUBSTRING(a,LENGTH(a) - 3) ELSE a. MESSAGE b VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX. That way it will not "die" when the string gets shorter...

Hi Caspar, We have to do a couple hundred of data entry and maintenance functions, add on top of that a healthy quantity of inquiries and reports... Plenty of work, not enough hands ;)

Interesting, (new global) shared variables work fine for me on a stateless v10 appserver. We still use them because we have to convert a complete app that currently makes extensive use of shared variables from Client/Server to AppServer in (what I think is) record time. Cleaning up or getting...
