DynToolKit BUILD 2006177192657 Released

[Scott Auge]

** What is it?

DynToolKit is a set of APIs to act as an abstraction layer to Progress 4GL (ABL) dynamic query objects. It's purpose is to simplify the complexity of working with these items.

How simple can it be? Take this example:

-----------

{dyntoolkit.i}

DEFINE VARIABLE cRCS AS CHARACTER INIT "$Id: test.p,v 1.3 2006/06/27 02:02:13 sauge Exp sauge $" NO-UNDO.

DEFINE VARIABLE h AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.

/****************************************************************/
/* Test One : A good query in DB 1 */
/****************************************************************/

HIDE ALL.
MESSAGE "Good Test".

ASSIGN h = dyn_open("FOR EACH Job NO-LOCK").

DISPLAY cDyn_ErrCode cDyn_ErrMsg FORMAT "x(30)".

DISPLAY h:NUM-RESULTS COLUMN-LABEL "NumResults".

REPEAT:

dyn_next(h).
IF dyn_qoe(h) THEN LEAVE.

DISPLAY dyn_getvalue(h, "Job.JobID")
dyn_getvalue(h, "Job.Name")
dyn_getvalue(h, "Job.Priority")
dyn_getvalue(h, "Job.ErrCode").

END.

dyn_close(h).

Scott,

I don't use dynamic queries much, but that looks useful, and as a developer I appreciate your never ending (free!) contributions.

I think you should get some sleep now.
