Check the system log on the unix server for clues as to why this is happening. You may need to tweak the Kernel settings accordingly

Are you only licenced for 20 users therefore trying to connect with a 21st user is causing you problems?

Meant to say.... SQL-92 drivers will most likely already be installed on the server hosting the progress database

First thing you'll need to find out before you try to connect a third party application to the Progress dataserver is the setup. When you start a database from you can specify whether the service will allow SQL apps, 4GL apps or Both to connect to it. The default is both but worth checking out...

Hi guys, Thanks for the reply and making me laugh at the misunderstanding between you. I neede the giggle. :lol: Yes I had checked out that progress KB article but thanks for looking. It will be easier to track down if I find out exactly what is locking the files so that link you you gave me to...

Hi, This one has got me confused (not hard I know). We have a massive 9.1D09 database (80GB) running on a windows 2000 server which is closed down at 8pm each day to be backed up. The database is then copied via FTP to another server. We have reports running off the database using Crystal...

Surely this will only give the PID on where the code is run so unless you run that code directly on the server the PID wont match that of the one recorded in the database?

BLOB = Binary Large OBject In a nutshell it's a new field type which allows you to store a binary object in the database (e.g. Images, Documents etc.). It's available in OE10 but as our business use 9.1D I'm not sure of the logistics involved in upgrading your current system. I'll leave the...

I knew it..... A fresh pair of eyes and I saw the problem right away:rolleyes: The problem wasn't where I was outputting the field. the problem was this: CASE hField:DATA-TYPE: WHEN "integer" THEN IF hField:STRING-VALUE = ? THEN {&sOut} lv-cDelimiter. ELSE {&sOut}...

As the error suggests you may be trying to update a field but no record is available. You should check that a record is available before trying to manipulate the data. eg. the following statement may or may not find a record: find first customer where customer.name begins "a" no-error. So...

I know it's probably been said a few times but not by me yet so I'd just like to say a big thank you to Chris and anyone who helps him (including the sponsers). This forum is a good source for experts and beginners alike and long may it continue. Kirmik out :biggrin:

Thanks for the quick reponse guys and thanks for reassuring me I'm not going mad (or am i). See I believed that I knew that buffer-value wasn't formatted but it didn't seem to work. I'll have a look in the morning at the code again and if I can't see the solution through a fresh pair of eyes...

This one's bugging me probably because it's the end of the day but see if you can sort this. I'm using a dyamic query to query a database with the purpose to output the values of the data into a flat file, using the PUT UNFORMATTED statement through an OUTPUT STREAM. Some of the data is larger...

I've played around with VB as a front end in the past and I have to say that the end result simply makes a Progress application look like windows 3.11 in comparison. I dont think Progress will ever be able to compete with companies such as microsoft for the interfaces but I do believe the...

Yes Koz you were right n this one. I managed to find the answer I'd found out that when there is no data value in the XML then it's considered null so the node has no child and would cause an error when you call GET-CHILD on it. eg. <AddressLine2 /> /* This is null */...

I have an odd scenario where handle:GET-CHILD() is falling over with the error: X-NODEREF or X-DOCUMENT GET-CHILD got an error: Invalid child index. (9082) X-NODEREF must be associated with a valid X-DOCUMENT in order to use it in method NODE-VALUE. (9102) I know what these errors mean but to...

Congratulations on finding the right man for the job :biggrin:

Happy new year :) Any news?

I take it you've found someone now. :awink: Chris

I feel your pain. To lighten the load a bit prepare for the big day by automating as much as you possibly can, using scripts. Adding extents doesn't have to be time consuming if you do your analysis first. I'll be in edinburgh on Xmas day so I'll spare a thought for the poor sod who has to work :(
