Progress Programming help

[hanwant]

Hi,

I'm quite new to progress programming. We have HP-UX 10.20 server and we are using Progress Database 7.3e. We have some custom made programs in progress language. I need some help regarding the programming in progress. Can anyone tell me where i can found the guide to progress programming.

I'm giving the program source code which we had in our hp-ux server:

/* Variables needed for BBF */
{p00300.i} /* Materials constants */
def shared var g-debug as int.
def new shared var s-tol-ok as log format "yes/no".
def new shared var s-inv-val as dec.
def shared var s-kgrnref like grnrts.kgrnref.
def shared var s-bbf-supno-disp like supplier.ksupno.
def shared var s-grn-match as log format "yes/no".
def shared var s-nom-code as char format "x(15)".
def shared var s-locsn like location.klocsn.
def shared var s-tot-batch as dec.
def shared var s-kpono like po.kpono.
def shared var s-type as log format "yes/no".
..........
continue.............

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps purchase a book, or contact PROGRESS for a course:

Or look at the following docs. They seem to be quite comprehensive:

V7 ?????

Greetings,
That would be quite difficult, PSC version 7 is soo outdated now. The latest avilable is Progress Open Edge 10. This has a new version of the ADM, in fact the ADM has been outdated for a while now since version 9. Progress is now using ADM 2, this would not be effected with V7 because the ADM was not introduced until V8, though PSC has made a HUGE number of language advancements since the outdated V7 and CHUI, the latest methods are BLOB and CLOB, Publish and Subscribe...
Regards

Do you have any of the printed manuals (I think they were still printed manuals in V7) that came with progress handy? The programming handbook is quite a good place to start.
