Using progress 9.1c, we find that if a transaction includes calls to a persistent procedure (instantiated within the transaction), that record locks created within the persistent procedure are not always released at the end of the transaction. These may persist after the persistent procedure...

I'm building interfaces between Java programs and Progress 4gl (Ver 9.1c) using the progress proxy interface. We have been doing this for some time and have most of it under control. However in passing a result set back to progress from Java (into a temp-table) I have hit a snag with some date...

Hi all, We use the Progress appserver to connect progress and other applications to our progress (v9.1c) databases. Works well. However I have recently added a new appserver (has to connect to different databases) and can't actually connect to it. I have started the appserver which reports...

Hi all, We are using a socket (Progress 91C on UNIX) to connect to a 3rd party server on a WIN2000 machine. Works fine most of the time, but occasionally the connection fails causing the progress code to "lock up". Our code is fairly straight forward (from the Progress documentation) using...

Hi all, I understand from the documentation that JDBC drivers come with version 9.1. I have been trying to use the relavent .zip files to try to connect to various Progress databases, without a lot of success, in both Win NT and Solaris environments. Can someone confirm that the...

Hi all. There is some interest in our organisation in moving our front ends to Java (or possibly VB). Can someone point me in the right direction to find out how exactly to connect a Java program to Progress (preferably through appserver or some third party equivalent). Ta :-) David

Hi all, We currently have a substantial system running on a UNIX platform and providing a character interface to our users. Works well, but for various reasons we need to start moving at least some of the functions to a GUI environment. We still need to maintain development, test and live...

Can anyone help me with using sockets in the Progress 9.1 4GL? I need to connect to a server process on another computer. That I can do with a dll supplied by the makers of the server if I know the server address. (Socket number of server can be set). My difficulty is to locate the IP...

Hi All. Is there any way of putting up an hour-glass or similar object in the GUI environment to tell the user the system has not just died? Obviously it is possible to make up a special frame to do the job, but???? David.

Hi all! I am having a bit of trouble with dynamic menus. I have a routine which works well in VER 8.2 character. This routine builds a menu dynamically using the contents of a table. To get the menu to run procedures in the calling program the triggers in the memory use a : on choose...

<div align="Left"><font size="1" face="Verdana" color="#000000"> We are using ver 8.3 currently in a character interface system, and want to be able to transfer information between our system and an EFTPOS server using TCP/IP messaging. We know the IP addresses and sockets, message format etc...
