I have been out of the Progress market for a little while now... I have an interview this week at which I will have to undertake a technical test... Can anyone out there let me have some simple v9 (chui) listings that I could look through to refresh my memory please?

Just thought I'd drop in and say hi to all the people I met on here, those I helped and those who helped me. I have to admit I miss using Progress but life has to move on. I still drop in and check the Forum out every now and again. Chris - Keep up the good work! :)

I just thought I'd take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and a prosperous and peaceful 2004.

Ever had one of those days? You know the sort: Even the simplest problem seems beyond you? I'm feeling a little like that today! I'm sure you've all seen error message 74, you know, something along the lines of: ** Value 4030 cannot be displayed using >>9. (74) So, you look through the...

I hope someone out there has come across what I'm looking for :) We have various terminals around which have "slave printers" attached (i.e. a parallel printer hanging on the back). We have a package which throws reports to these printers. I believe this is done by outputting to the...

I know this is off topic but I desparately need help with this and I hope someone out there can oblige. I have produced a file via Progress v9.1d3 (chui) which I need to pick up in Word to do something further with. The file is located on our Unix box. I have previously written a macro in...

Is it just my imagination or has Chris Schreiber apparently vanished from the face of the earth (or at least the face of ProgressTalk)? As far as I can see his last post was the 1st July 2003. Are we now in the twighlight zone? :awink:

I know this is off topic but you never know - there might well be someone out there who can help me: I have developed a macro in excel (2002) which as part of its function 'protects' the sheet using the following code: ActiveSheet.Protect (Password = "secret") ActiveSheet.EnableSelection...

TRU64 version 5.1a. One for any of you Unix guru's out there: Does anyone out there know of a way to allow ordinary users (non-super) the ability to do the equivalent of lpc topq? I've been tasked with writing a 'print manager' which can be used at our various branches, we need to give the...

I have some code within a for each loop: FIND bbsbi NO-LOCK WHERE bbsbi.nl-loc = '2' AND bbsbi.st-loc = oldstloc.st-loc AND bbsbi.st-item = oldstloc.st-item NO-ERROR. If I modify the code to be FIND FIRST (with no other changes) it finds fewer records than the first snippet of code...

Hi folks, I wonder if anyone out there can help me: Progress 9.1d CHui. Consider the two following snippets of code: /* Snippet 1 */ ASSIGN fmat = '"x(' + STRING(LENGTH(myvar)) + ')"'. PUT STREAM mystream myvar FORMAT fmat. /* Snippet 2 */ PUT STREAM mystream myvar FORMAT "x(50)"...

Is it a false impression or do we seem to be getting fewer posts on ProgressTalk than we used to? Of late I have noticed that many of the posts seem to be imported rather than posted directly. Is there anyone out there?

Progress 9.1c05 CHui. Does anyone out there know if there is any way of finding out the name of a global variable which is in encrypted code? I have the situation where I want to run a compiled program which I know sets a global variable for a customer number. I want to pick up the value of...

Hi folks, This is slightly off topic but is anyone out there using a piece of software called DBfax? If so I would be grateful if you would let me know as I would like a brief chat about it. Thanks In Anticipation

Progress 9.1C05 Chui Tru64 Unix 5.1a I have a program which contains: ON END-ERROR OF FRAME inp-frame STOP. frame inp-frame has several fields in it (all defined variables). If I hit f4 whilst positioned in one of the fields nothing happens. In all other fields in the frame, the...

Whilst browsing ProgressTalk I scrolled to the bottom of the home page to check on the current usage. The message said 108 users, 8 members and 100 guests. There were only six member names listed - Is it me that can't count, ProgressTalk that can't count or is there an 'invisible' option when...

9.1d01 CHui. Does anyone out there know how to control where the cursor is positioned in a radio-set? I have a radio-set which may be used several times in my program, I assign an appropriate value each time before displaying the frame containing the radio-set and, sure enough, the 'x' to...

Hi, 9.1d01 chui. I have a popup menu associated with a button. I can get this menu to pop up by hitting esc u when the button has focus but what I would like to do is cause the menu to popup automatically as soon as the user applies focus (i.e. on 'ENTRY' of button). Has anyone out there...

I don't know if what I'm rying to do is possible or not... But I'm sure someone out there will know the answer :awink: Is it possible to split a browse onto more than one line? I have quite a large amount of information to display and would love to be able to do this but have not been able...

Just thought I'd use this forum to say: HAVE A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR to all users of ProgressTalk
