I know how it works for all software... it was more a philosophical question than a practical one. Thanks for all of this... it's been interesting.

Negative numbers beg the question as to what is rounding UP.... should -1.1 round "up" to -2 or should it be -1? Not that I have an answer, just something I've wondered about how software should actually treat rounding up (or down) of negative numbers.

Just to be contrary and throw another wrench or 2 into this interesting discussion, there is also the issue of negative numbers. e.g. -1.6 Tom's function returns zero Marian's function returns -1 round(-1.6,0) returns -2 truncate(-1.6,0) returns -1 integer(-1.6) returns -2 e.g. -1.1 Tom's...

I actually found a 2009 version on the Progress website, but I cannot believe that is the 'current' version of this document. I'll let you know what date/version we get.

Got it. And thanks again!

Thank you Thank you Thank you Rob. That's what I thought and also why we were going the Basic Appsever route as it clearly fills our needs. Only question I have is since the Appsever will be installed on the same server as the existing Workgroups DB (which is properly licensed), would we...

We have a new Progress rep (yet again) and we are trying to determine what Appserver product and licensing model we need to get. Our customer is very small (Workgroups 10.2B about 25 users). The current license for the DB is concurrent user. We are in the process of designing/co-developing...

Cecil, from SSD's we backup 3 databases (full backups), on average in about 14 minutes. Last backup we did: 95GB (13:30), 2GB (19 seconds), and 2GB (14 seconds) 500mb in that short of time falls within the values we see on a regular basis.

While not really a Progress issue (and perhaps this should go in the API section?), does anyone have any recommendations for geocoding US addresses? We have a group of customers that require geocoding US addresses to get latitude/longitude by year's end. They would not be used for mapping or...

and if you look on the first page of the forums, under "Development" there is a handy sub-group that has links to most if not all documentation: "Progress Information and Documentation Links"

Basically the reason it's not doing what you want is because a "DO" block does not automagically imply a down frame. However, "REPEAT" will do the down frame as long as the frame is defined as such. One method: DEF VAR array AS INTEGER EXTENT INITIAL [1,2,3]. DEF VAR lv-i AS INTEGER. DO...

What are your database startup parameters? How much memory on your Windows box?

You need to look at the database startup settings, in particular the -S setting (which should be either a port number or the entry you made in the services file).

Since Scott is from Michigan and they have a tough time getting "likes", I've taken pity on him and 'liked' one of his posts. You're welcome, Scott. ;)

Tom's likeable enough once he has a few beers in him...

One of our large customers is in the process of making a true hot spare server for the Progress db (10.2B Linux running on SSD's). A few questions: 1) Does anyone have any experience with DRBD ( www.drbd.org ) ? I'm aware this is big in the mysql world, but not sure of the feasibility with...

I could be wrong, but that looks like it's ZPL II (coding language used for printing labels on Zebra label printers). If so, you might want to download the ZPL II programming manual. Either google for them or you can try here: https://km.zebra.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SO6755

Re: Running transactions in a tight loop without monopolizing resources - nice Progre Tom, I was under the impression that the scheduler priority was used for pretty much all o/s requests hence my post. Thanks for the clarification!

Re: Running transactions in a tight loop without monopolizing resources - nice Progre If this is Linux, you could create a script to execute the delete program(s) (same as setting up a Progress cron job) and run the script from progress code as a detatched job: e.g. (untested) os-command...
