[quote user="Dmitri Levin"] I am looking for an option in COMPILE statement that for a given .p will provide me the list of .cls, CLASS definition files, that I need to recompile first in order to do a successful .p compile. Can I get that with my current 11.7 or future versions of Progress? [/quote] I am trying to understand your requirement better. COMPILE statement looks at a single file with in the context of the PROPATH. Since ABL is both interpreted and compiled, you don't have to compile all the referenced classes to compile a .p. Does this not work for your requirement? Are you compiling part of your application/project for separate packaging purposes? For the reverse use case, given a class file is changed what files need to be recompiled, it can't be language level feature as the COMPILE statement works on one file at a time and doesn't have the concept of project. This needs to be handled by tooling. We are planning to add this to PDSOE and Gradle tasks in future. Thanks, Ravi
