Sorry pahc, I didn't notice that you had already tried that thread.

The original ad was placed by Cressida Stephenson from RethinkRecruitment, so that's presumably: http://www.rethink-recruitment.com/register_contact/

I understand those concerns. Apart from anything else, these cheap practices lower the morale of existing staff; and undermine the reputation of the company, its product and its programmers (in certain clear cases, very unfairly).

Here's an extract from the worst, least appetizing job opportunity I've seen in my region for a while: So, to summarise, a company that "puts it's employees first" is prepared to pay apprentice rates for the privilege of working with a long-dead version constantly putting out fires. Am I...

The server process just emails the report to the user when complete, but you are correct it will not just automatically print out unless you intercept it in some way - but normally a user will want to preview a report before printing - it may be hundreds of pages long. There may be scope for...

Not meaning to be, or enjoying - flogging a dead forum, but from the point of view of a formerly paying web user like myself, the Peg is effectively dead. eg. (several months after crash) http://www.peg.com/forums/peg/200903/index.html (several days out of date)...

If you insist on monitoring agent access, then you should be able to write connect/disconnect procedures to update a db flag/count. However this may be unreliable (compared to sdjensen's suggestion) due to unhandled exits, I'm not sure.

I think you are looking at it the wrong way. I would stick in a db flag/counter to control access to 'special' functions. This approach is just a system-wide extension of "User is not allowed to make a second report request until the first one is completed". Investigate why certain...

The closest I can think of is this from v9stuff, but I doubt its what you are after. There are a couple of dynamic object viewers somewhere on PSDN, and of course, the debugger. For future reference, pdecode does some lowish-level tools. My webpage has some more links, not updated...

FWIW It's back up in a limited fashion.

As for the central points of your question, which I read as: How do I get started with Progress - its a niche skill that you can make a lot of money in? I am told that there are people who do very well out of Progress - they are generally consultants. For humble, meat and potato...

From my links page: http://www.progteg.com/forum/ Edit: I notice since posting the link its a bit quiet (imagine that for a Progress site) - but its worth a try.

Doesn't work for me, presumably because the date format is different (caused by use of STRING to manipulate date components?), though I'm not up to verifying that at the moment. Anyway, old versions discussed here.

A bit late, and rather vague as its from memory and not using this control, so apologies in advance if its misleading. I don't know the control you are using, but assuming it is designed along similar principles as other image-using MS controls (list view, tree view, etc.), you will probably...

Different demographic. I would say the participants on the Peg particularly are more 'hardcore', and therefore more interested in the event. Posters here seem generally to be younger, more internationally spread, more transient in that Progress is often their second technology, and less...

Well you could kind of do that a lot quicker by COMPILE XREF > grep "WHOLE-INDEX"; but a query using WHOLE-INDEX isn't necessarily wrong, and it isn't going to flag any queries using dubious bracketing. It is also rather preemptive to apply this approach over the whole base - the point of...

Yes, I noticed this halfway into developing the utility (assuming you are talking about the RQA I linked to), and had some hair-pulling moments finding workarounds, all of which are documented in the code. (I haven't used it above 9.1, so can't say it works on 10.1c, though it should in theory)...

Yes, it would be difficult for it to be less visible at the moment. I'll upload it when I have some time - initially I didn't want to release it on a wider basis as its rather basic; it also requires a bit of experience to grok and I didn't (and don't) have time to offer support. Fixed.

Assuming you want to do it from Windows, using the 4GL, here's an old code library that I've used in the past: http://www.oehive.org/node/456
