This version of PROGRESS does not allow compiles. (471)

Hi,
There is a Windows machine running only Progress Workgroup Database and Client Networking.
There is an application which requires program code to be generated and compiled at run time.
Is there a way to make this application run on that Windows box without
installing 4GL Develeopment or Query/Results?
The error message I get is:
"This version of PROGRESS does not allow compiles. (471)"

Thank you for the help in advance!
 
you can do alot of things with dynamic queries
even dynamic code not just queries

i once wrote a calculator that could parse complex formulas
including parameters with dynamic queries

besides that, theres other things that can be done dynamically
like widgets, buffers, temp-tables etc.

other then that an appserver can compile-on-the-fly
so that could be an option you could work in

if your app is more of a development tool
 
Joey suggested the right way and you should try his proposal to solve your problem.
Nevertheless I think there's another way to get compile-on-fly feature. I’ve never used it and I can only guess. As I remember there’s a session parameter which allows running xcoded code. I suppose you can execute run-time xcoding of a file to run it. I don't know exactly it might be illegal therefore you should use Joey's suggestion.
 
i think, xcode util for creating encrypted source files
comes with a development license

i don't think it would make much sense
to add them to a query or runtime license


in anycase you can use -rx startup parameter
to enable query or runtime clients to compile encrypted source

it's mainly intended to use when shipping encrypted source
to sites with query or runtime license to compile
