I found another potential bug that is specific to "client-server" programming in ABL. The following KB indicates that some FIND/GET operations behave differently and will potentially return different records for "shared-memory" vs "client-server" connections: FIND DIFFERENCES WHEN CONNECTED REMOTELY VS LOCALLY: knowledgebase.progress.com/.../P161574 Of course the KB indicates that the difference is not a bug per-se. But it will pose as a problem for software developers who are migrating from a "shared memory" to a "client-server" architecture. On a discouraging note, the KB admits that differences in behavior between "shared memory" and "client-server" ABL may remain "intentionally undocumented". In other words, Progress doesn't want to explicitly identify how a "client-server" program might behave differently than a "shared memory" one. This admission could make it all the more challenging to gather together a list of bugs that are specific to "client-server".
