Scott, Many thanks for the post, Sadly it was too late for the interview but hey, that's life.

Knut, Thanks for that, I will check that site out. In the meantime, anyone out there with listings it would still be very much appreciated.

I have been out of the Progress market for a little while now... I have an interview this week at which I will have to undertake a technical test... Can anyone out there let me have some simple v9 (chui) listings that I could look through to refresh my memory please?

hmmmm Lee, it was bound to happen eventually - I don't tend to post much now as I don't have the opportunity to test any suggestions I may make. Yuo never know, one day I may find a Progress job in the South West of Englnd (BIG HINT FOR ANY EMPLOYERS OUT THERE -LOL). :rolleyes: :awink:

Just thought I'd drop in and say hi to all the people I met on here, those I helped and those who helped me. I have to admit I miss using Progress but life has to move on. I still drop in and check the Forum out every now and again. Chris - Keep up the good work! :)

Nigel, I know exactly how you feel. I used to be based in Yeovil (I am now in Dorset)and the only interview I managed to get was in Bath. Since I left my last Progress post in Feb 2004 I have had a variety of positions none of which have been IT related which seems an incredible waste of 26...

Now starting to think that I will not be able to get back into Progress in this area. Absolutely crazy situation - but that's life. If ANYONE out there in the South West UK is interested in a Progress developer (now available at a bargain rate) the please feel free to contact me - my email...

Almost one year on - and yes, I'm still looking. Surely there must be someone in the South West of the UK who is using Progress and who is willing to make use of the many years experience I have?

Yes - I hate to admit it but I am STILL looking. I think the biggest problem I have is that Progress seems to be under utilised in this area and I am tied to the area for personal reasons. I have seen plenty of jobs advertised in the Yorkshire area where I used to live and one or two at an...

I know this is starting to sound like desperation - but I'm STILL looking. Yes it IS desperation!!

This is even more ridiculous - I'm still looking - I can't believe the Progress market is THIS dead!

This is ridiculous - I'm still looking!

I can't believe the job market is this slow - still looking

DEFINE VARIABLE posn AS INTEGER EXTENT 10 NO-UNDO. /* set the extent to the maximum number of likely positions */ DEFINE VARIABLE idx AS INTEGER NO-UNDO. DEFINE VARIABLE tmp-pos AS INTEGER NO-UNDO. DEFINE VARIABLE last-pos AS INTEGER NO-UNDO. ASSIGN tmp-pos = 1 idx = 0 last-pos = 1. DO WHILE...

required-position = INDEX("string to search","string to search for").

The easiest way round this is to use NO-LABEL and put some text fields on the screen which you populate with your own headings

Progress, unfortunately, does not support multi-dimensional arrays. One work round to create the effect of a two diminsional array is to use a temp-table: DEFINE TEMP-TABLE mytable NO-UNDO FIELD rec-num AS INTEGER /* functions as the array subscript */ FIELD myarray AS CHARACTER EXTENT...

Use the CONNECT statement. See the Progress language reference for syntax (it's a while since I've used it so can't recall the syntax off the top) and a possible "gotcha" - the connect to the database can't be in the same program that uses the database, so you'd have to connect using prog1.p and...

If this is a regular job then the solution James suggested is the best one. If this is a one-off then (provided the structures are the same) dump the data from the dictionary options and import it into the second database.

Not as such. You could however write your code to generate the code for the import and run the generated code (something like this): define variable delimchar$v as char no-undo format "X(1)". output to tmpprog.p put "INPUT FROM c:\prices.csv." skip "REPEAT:" skip "IMPORT...
