Installing .p guide

[nullpointer]

Hello.

I've been working last time with MFGPRO 9.0 (char) over HP-UX.
Now, I need to work for another company, wich runs MFGPRO 8.6E, PROGRESS 8.3E over WinNT.

I have to write some .p programs to obtain reports, and hope not to have many problems. But I am not familiarized with compiling, installing, directory structure, etc. on WinNT platform.

Could anyone help me, please??

Once I have my .p program, how do I proceed to install it and make it available for my mfgpro users??

Is it similar to HP-UX platform??
Is there any documentation available??

Need help, please. Thanks.

hi nullpointer,

Your programs can run in mfg/pro, first you need compile them (from .p to .r)
You can use MFGUTil choice program->compile procedures and config some parameters is correct with your system (character or GUI depend on your enviroment> to compile

Re: Installing .p

Thanks for your answer, Newbie.
But I don't know MFGUtil.

I had problems when compiling my .p programs with the application compiler.
In the .p program, I included some .i files, but when i try to compile, the system doesn't find them. I've checked the propath, and it includes the folder containing .i files. So I don't know which is the problem.

If I don't include any .i file, the program runs. But when I install it under an mfgpro menu (with the option 36.4.etc) and execute it, the systems begin to 'think' and seems to be blocked.

Any idea?
Am i doing anything wrong??
