I'm starting to think that's the only way. I do find it strange though

It seems to me your procedure isn't too large... you're trying to update a record in your database, and the records becomes larger than 32K....

Hi everybody, I have a question about the Progress Data Dictionary. We use this to generate a delta.df file for updating purposes. However, this has to be done manually and I'd rather do this automatically. Does any of you know if this is possible? Greetings, Patrick de Git

DEFINE VARIABLE data AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. IF SEARCH('C:\DATA.TXT') <> ? THEN DO: INPUT FROM 'C:\DATA.TXT'. REPEAT: IMPORT UNFORMATTED data. MESSAGE 'HELLO'. END. INPUT CLOSE. END.

How come nobody knows the answer to this? Dan Foreman, I've heard so much about you, where are you when I need you?

I'm not sure if i understood correctly, but my guess is you wanted the repeat....end to keep working, even when wstate has a value 'True'? The why do keep a line in the repeat....end block that says 'IF wstate THEN LEAVE.'?

Well, you could make a procedure for each frame you could ever possibly be wanting to hide, make all the frames shared frames, and run the 'hidefr_##.p' program to hide the frame of your choice.... but that would be a silly thing to do... it could be done with run-time compilation and...

If you don't want to use a UNIX file to redirect the output, perhaps the 'put' statement in combination with the 'control' keyword can help you out... it helped me out once when I needed to write some null string characters to a file..

So what statement do you use to close the app? do you use... a) nothing at all, just end the program? b) 'return' c) 'quit' as far as I know, only quit will really get you back to the command prompt in Unix, but it could of course be completely different under Windows, though I doubt it.

Try the 'QUIT' statement... If you where to use it in the last line of your .w code, i assume this would automatically stop the session, and return to the command prompt/windows

This could have something to do with the European/American numeric format. (session:numeric-format)

Hello everyone, I've got a problem on Progress v9.1A on a SCO Unix system. I've got a down frame with an decimal variable (price for item) in it. When the price is unknown, I'm using the following code to signal the user: display '*E*' @ v_price this works just fine, but as soon...

The 'do while true' only prevents you from having to type in the code twice... after the second time you've cancelled the prompt-for, a system error will occur, so it could also be reproduced without the 'do while true' loop; just type the code within that block again...

It's Version 9.1A Chui, on a SCO Unix system...

I've got a question about a system error I get when using editor widgets on V9, CHui interface... Here's an example: define work-table w_table field w_fill1 as character field w_fill2...
