I have a form that looks like this: FORM cust AT 15 cname AT 20 SKIP(1) "The program created the file with the Products listed below. If you desire" AT 5 "more products to be added to the file, answer the question Yes below" AT 5 "and enter the products." AT 5 SKIP(1)...

Yes, we plan on doing that someday. :)

Darn. Thanks!

Doh! Of course. Thanks.

Thanks! I think we might take a similar route - except we might not be able to get third party tools. What does CPO stand for, by the way?

Thanks! These are really good resources. I'll check them out. Actually, I did read the documentation some time ago (must have slipped my mind!). The most useful document I found was "Deploying a Progress Application in a Secure Environment." My biggest takeaways from that were: Don't allow any...

(I thought I'd make a new thread since my last one was getting off topic.) Aside from setting _File and _Field permissions for users, what mechanisms are built-in to the Progress DB and the OpenEdge language to handle security that are considered best practice in 2013?

Thanks, Cringer. And Tom, that's a very good solution, especially since our existing code doesn't use _User or setuserid() at all. :D However, one downside would be any future OpenEdge features that use _User in unexpected ways.

Thanks, everyone. I'll look into Progress Developer Studio. It's a separate issue; I want to implement group-based table security. (Please see my thread titled "Using Groups with Procedure and Data Security. Unfortunately, I can't include the link. :() The only way I can do this (to my...

Thanks, Cringer. I'll try to do that. This may seem obvious, but why can't we change the schema when users are connected? I understand why we shouldn't try deleting or radically changing tables, but changing a field label seems like a cosmetic change. Is it always dangerous to change _File and...

Sorry for the late reply! Yes, the PROPATH needed to include the directory containing the compiled files.

In Progress 10, I'm using load_d.p. Just as /prodict/dump_d.p dumps a single table, /prodict/load_d.p loads a single table. RUN /usr/dlc/src/prodict/load_d.p ("_User", "/location/to/dump/to/").

Recreating the entire directory structure wouldn't be too hard - except that we have hundreds human-created folders mixed in with progress folders in our current environment. Currently, we cannot tell which folders our progress programs need to run and which are "garbage." To do this, I would...

So if I want to copy my previous backup file and its aiarchive files to the same folder AND I'm continuously archiving ai files on a running database, how do I ensure that I don't pick up archive files that actually belong to my current backup file? Do I have to parse the archive log? I suppose...
