I see there are older threads that address this, but I want an up-to-date answer. Are there any utilities or editors that will reliably reformat code with bad indentation? I used at least one in the past that did more harm than good!

Suppose program.p has a temp-table foo defined in it, and I want to use it by sending the data to a myclass.cls in the constructor? Can this be accomplished in a generic way using handles or something else? (NOT defining temp-table foo in myclass.cls) This sounds to me like it is something...

What are a few of your opinions on this topic? How do they compare in the following ways: Speed an efficiency, reliability, complexity in configuration, flexibility? We are planning on upgrading from OE 11.6 soon and it is my understanding the old app server is not compatible with versions...

I want to serialize a dynamic temp-table so I can pass it at run time not knowing its definition at compile time. JSON/XML are obvious choices but I neither want the bloat nor does it have to be human readable. Any suggestions? Optional compression would be icing on the cake but I could...

How do you define class files from openedge? (I am using 10.2A under unix) I read it was relative from the propath, with periods indicating directories. Example: PROPATH=/home/tom calling program (in /home/tom) is a one line program with the code "define variable mytest as...

Is there any way to make the fist element of an array to be zero? So I could do col[0] = xyz. (like every other language!!!) It is a pain to remember to do -1 with active X and .net every time! Thanks Tom

have fill-in widgets and want to be able to select them for copy to the windows clipboard. I have only been able to do the highlight and copy if it is sensitive. Does anyone know if there is a way I can get it to be selectable for "copy" and not be editable? Example: We have an address...

I have been using appbuilder for over a year now. Does it make sense to switch to eclipse? When we first looked into it it seemed like it was not quite ready for "prime time". What are the advantages to Progress's eclipse over appbuilder? What disadvantages are there? How big of a deal is...
