Relative path info is stored in the debugger segment - this can be different. Source: I don't know if code can be compiled without the debugger segment.

Missed this bit - it won't be MIN-SIZE.

Apart from anything else, the most obvious cause for something like this is 'Minimise r code size' being ticked/unticked in the two different compile sessons.

Also: how do you define when a 'month' has passed?

You need to decide on the limitations you are prepared to accept. A generic 'year = 365 days, months = 30 days' algorithm will only give a rough approximation. An 'exact' method needs a start date, as well as catering for leap years, days in months, etc.

The OP said he wanted ebooks. <edit> Ok, I've just noticed him/her posting all over the shop with no such qualification.

I agree with most of what you've said in this interesting thread, apart from: I'm puzzled as to why you seem reluctant to have precompiled programs in your development propath. Surely the vast majority don't need recompiling from one session to the next? And those that do will be compiled...

DEFINE VARIABLE hTable AS HANDLE NO-UNDO. CREATE TEMP-TABLE hTable. hTable:ADD-NEW-FIELD('DATABASE','CHARACTER',0,?,''). htable:TEMP-TABLE-PREPARE('tttest'). << ok DEF TEMP-TABLE tttest FIELD DATABASE AS CHARACTER << not ok . Indicates my assumption was wrong.

I don't know. I rarely use dynamic coding explicitly. It should be simple enough for someone who's not me to do a quick test. I would assume the same rules apply as to static code. So reserved keywords should not be used. These are the ones with ticks against them in the index (and tested...

60,000 more OS calls are being made without -q. I'm not sure if you already knew that. As it notes 'precompiled' which is at odds with your (3) above, I guess this message doesn't add much to your understanding, but some of this stuff is new to me and might be to others reading. I'm...

Alternatively a less cool but more sensible method is to look at the Keyword Index in the reference manual. :)

I must admit, I assumed your problem was an embedded quotes issue. Anyway, to your follow on question: Try the undocumented -zgenkwlist to see keywords. eg (lifted from George Potemkins parameter list): prowin32.exe -zgenkwlist > keywords.txt Also, there are the ABL KEYWORD() and...

Nicely done. Mind you, you could have replaced them with links to a competitor...

Yes. <keeps mouth shut about handling unknowns>

This is a very valid point. As someone who is pathetically semi-bilingual, I bear that in mind when somebody is posting who clearly does not have English as a first language. However, my hackles raise at text speak (an increasing occurrence on this forum), as it indicates a laziness that...

KatieCat, I'm surprised you seem to have taken a somewhat different message from reading this thread than I have. You need to remember that although (for example) I may not be a newbie at Progress, I certainly am in other interests. All* people ask is: Make an effort yourself before...

Ok, I've reread it - I was somewhat confused by a couple of instances of illogical and unformatted syntax. Mark123, your first error is happening because you are putting a code block case active: when "yes" then 1. when "no" then 0. end case. where an expression (ie. a variable or...

Quite feasible, and although you may not be able to imagine a developer missing it, in my experience programmers have been known to not test things thoroughly. Just to clarify your issue (as you call yourself a 4GLNewbie), if the problem is as you describe it (and obviously you need to verify...

In addition to Tom's suggestion, you can download the trial Windows version of OpenEdge which will give you the full help files, and various IDE options. You won't be able to develop anything (legally) though. There is also Piew, a useful Progress-specific procedure editor. Mentioned on...
