<pre> for each atable break by atable.afield : if first-of( atable.afield ) then do: /* process first record of each group */ end. /* process each record */ if last-of( atable.afield) and not first-of( atable.afield) then do: /* process last record of each...

One of possible ways to perform upgrade and development: 1. All updates of database structure made only through small incremental *.df files that stored permanently. 2. During some changes we also need to run utilities to fill new fields. Those programmes also stored. When you need...

> I am a little confused on your suggestion. How exactly would one state > Field 1 + Field 2 @ Variable? Try next: 1. Go to Definitions section of your browser <code> define variable v-calc-field as character no-undo format "x(20)" label "Calc field" . </code> 2. Go to Column...

As I understand new files will be created while executing multiple import from os-dir statements. Progress does not document behaviour of import from os-dir statement: sometimes it can find new files, sometimes - not. If i would write such program, i would make it in four stages: 1...

One of possible ways to print directly to text printers (we use it in our system): 1. Generate the report - write all information to temporary file. Be sure that it will have unique file-name. Strandard progress programm adecomm/_tmpfile.p can be used. 2. Execute...

Progress v9 client can not connect directly to v8 database. There must be V8 server running on the database. And then V9 client can be connected to V8 server.

Are there any other tools that do the work better?

You can try Platinum ERwin to make reverse engneering. We use ERwin 3.52 for for a long time and it proved to be one of the best tools for progress database design. It is possible to make reverse engeneering from *.df file. It will restore tables and fields with all attributes. Also it...

We have some problems, when wrote utilities for automatic database generation, and decide to use compile-time parameters . Unfortunately program require compilation licence for execution. <pre> /* svdynrw.p Read and write sequence value {1} - sequence value {2} - database...

Define function: <pre> function str-right-align returns character ( input p-string as character , input p-width as integer ) : return fill(" ", max(p-width - length(p-string), 0) ) + p-string . end function. </pre> Then use calculated field to display...

To display dependent information in our programs we usually use trigger on value-changed: <pre> on value-changed of {&browse-name} in frame {&frame-name} do: run display-dependent-info . end. procedure display-dependent-info : do with frame {&frame-name}: if available...

/* sorry i really forget about those people */ /* that have one birthday during four years */ /* may be this will be good enough */ /* but it will return the same date */ /* for 02/29/2000 and 03/01/2000 */ display date( month(v-date), 1, year(v-date) + 18) + day(v-date) - 1 format...
