You might be thinking of SyteLine by Frontstep ( formerly Symix )?

@Mady @deanw is correct. Your input is being taken from the CSV file and not the standard input which means that whatever is next to be read in that CSV file is what is going to get stored against inventory.bin_num.

Have you set the startup directory of your shortcut to the application directory? If so that's where all output should go, otherwise the default when you create a shortcut is the location of the executable. HTH Rich

Martin, I do the following: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Verdana">code:</font><HR><pre> OS-COMMAND SILENT ftp -i -n < command.txt. [/code] Where command.txt contains: open hostname or ip address user username password bin or asc cd directory lcd directory get or mget filename put...

If the module of your application that writes the changed date field back to the DB is ALWAYS on the same client and within the same session then its possible to pass values to your update procedure, from the DB trigger or session trigger, if its being run persistently .. failing that you will...

Unless you have a timer loop, on your status application, that periodically checks for that date field changing you won't know because your application is generally passive, responding only to triggers that are local to the application that is running. Have you tried using a PStimer OCX in your...

Unfortunately you are going to need Progress on the server using either the workgroup/enterprise server or Progress runtime with personal database. You can't deploy a standalone Progress application otherwise you don't have a Progress engine to run it all. HTH Rich

How about: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Verdana">code:</font><HR><pre> DEF VAR c-status as char no-undo. . . . ASSIGN c-status = "". INNER-LOOP: DO: . . . IF NOT AVAILABLE(whatever) THEN DO: ASSIGN c-status="error". UNDO INNER-LOOP. LEAVE INNER-LOOP. END. END. /* inner loop...

James I have e-mailed you back some modified code. For the benefit of anyone following this thread, I had a look at James' code (written in the procedure editor) and what was missing was the code to create a window to contain the defined frames, ie avoiding using the default procedure window...

James, Feel free to e-mail your code to me at rich_t_1@hotmail.com I do something similar where I have a menu window which floats about and procedures are run persistently from it, etc. It doesn't have to be done in the UIB, it works just the same from the procedure editor. Rich

James, Run the second procedure persistently and parent it to the calling program's window. In the second window's design ensure you dont have "suppress window" set to true. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Verdana">code:</font><HR><pre> Definition section DEF VAR h-child AS HANDLE. . ...

Hi, I have been developing in Progress since 1992 using versions 6-9, CH/GUI host-based and client server applications; using native Progress, ActiveX controls and ODBC. My technical skills include UNIX system administration, NT administration, networking (WAN/LAN), datacomms & telecomms and...

James, How you create the editor is irrelevant it will work just the same. This piece of code: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Verdana">code:</font><HR><pre> DEF VAR c-editor AS CHAR FORMAT "x(256)" VIEW-AS EDITOR INNER-LINES 10 INNER-CHARS 50 LARGE. UPDATE c-editor WITH NO-LABELS...

Kevin, You just answered your own question. Use an editor widget with no scrollbars and set the height to 0.92 or 1.0 whatever, and set the maximum characters to whatever you want, say 30 or 40! Ensure you have RETURN-INSERTED set to false, WORD-WRAP set to false and LARGE set to true (that's...

David, I am assuming that you are attempting to connect to the ODBC broker/driver on the server side using port 31. I don't use Merant, I use Intersolv, so I may be speaking out of turn here, but I think you need to provide the service name, that is held in your services file, as opposed to the...
