Here is what I would suggest: 1. STOP destination DB in /progdba1db01 ( to get a clean backup) 2. truncate the bi (not sure if this step is necessary, but I like to do it) 3. Use probkup to backup the db in /progdba1db01 to some backup file 4. stop source DB in /progdev1db01 5. use...

Thanks Cringer for the clarification... NOW I understand. But can't help with this since I rarely use my Windows OE editor.

You might want to post your code as what you are asking is not exactly clear (at least to me). Be sure to include the code within the code tags.

If you want to know if your Linked In password was one of the ones stolen (mine was), here is a quick and easy tool to use to find out: https://lastpass.com/linkedin/

It's [ code ] paste content here [ / code ] removing the spaces in the code and / code tags. It's not "messing up"... it's more to make it both easier to read as well as scrollable within the post. It especially is of use when posting actual source code or longish pastes.

I think (if I remember correctly) you need to start a broker in v8 to establish an odbc connection. Been a long time.... I believe this may help at least to setup and establish the connection on windows. Beyond that, I'm hard pressed to remember what we did way back when...

Unless you post the code you are using, I'm not sure anyone can help you. You should also use the [ code ] tags for the code. And which version of Progress? EDIT: *SNAP* Cringer ! ;-)

I could be wrong, but wasn't R&D a hidden option in promon in v8 ? Try typing 'R&D' in the 'enter your selection' just to check.

deja vu ... ;)

As mentioned, you might want to check the properties for the shortcut you use to run Progress. Right click, Properties, shortcut tab, "Start in" is the working directory. Make sure it exists and you have rw permissions. Then under advanced in the shortcut tab, you can check to have it run as...

Not sure if this is your saving issue and I have to admit I'm not familiar with the webspeed editor, but if it works like the other Progress editors "Save" will save relative to your current working directory and doesn't use propath for saving. This is perhaps why you are being forced to 'save...

Maybe I'm wrong, but can't you use a preprocessor directive ? e.g. &IF OPSYS = "WIN32" &THEN PROCEDURE pDisplaySomeFrame. ... frame stuff ... END PROCEDURE. &ENDIF

Great post, Rob (and thanks Cringer for posting it as a separate thread).

Great post!!!! One additional web resource comes to mind, http://www.oehive.org . While not extremely active, there are some open source downloads available there.

If you follow Tom's suggestion, you won't have to.

Did you restore the various extents to the same directory structure as was on your old server? As a guess, you may have an issue with the .d1 (and perhaps other .d# and .b# bi extents) that are not in the same directories as before? If not, you need to edit the database .st file to point to...

You could always do it with a temp table, but there are other considerations necessary when doing this method (e.g. another user updates the same record at the same time). You'd have to do some additional work to insure data integrity. and yes, I know the pitfalls/dislike by some of the "like...

What Thomas is saying is that don't put quotation marks around a date assignment (same as for integers and decimals). Also, make sure you didn't put quotes around the ? either. You should do as Thomas suggested and look up in the documentation on how to assign dates etc.

Try IF pdsc.startdt = ? THEN "null" value for dates is the unknown value of ?
