Difference b/w INPUT THROUGH & INPUT TO

[kutti]

Hi All,

Can some one make me understand the difference between INPUT THROUGH and INPUT TO statements ?


Thanks in Advance...

First of all, I think you mean INPUT THROUGH and INPUT FROM

Input through allows you to start another process from within the 4GL/ABL (on the machine you are running your Progress/OpenEdge session on) and read the output of that process - basically a pipe. Input from on the other hand allows you to read information from a file.
