Compiling 4GL Code

[franklin1232]

I have just written my first 4GL app and was very surprised when the compiler told me it couldn't compile because the version of Progress I have doesn't allow updates to the database.

Well I went to get a quote on Provision. Now I used appbuilder in a training class and it wasn't bad, but when I found out the cost was $4300 I couldn't believe it. I have never paid the much for enterprise level developers tools. Many of the developers tools have ways to get special pricing. Jbuilder for instace had a very functional version for free. Visual Studio is only $2000.

My question is there a way to get my program to compile or some way to get cheaper development tools. If not I'll have to spring for it.

Thanks. :awink:

You could purchase the 4GL Development insted of ProVision. It's a little cheeper, around $2,800.

Good Luck,
