First of all, thank you. That will need a few reads. Licensing is a dark art, up their with networking :) Question(s). 1. How does the Named in NBP actually work?

So I have considered a migration, but the fact is the system works well and is very reliable, and to the client that is key. It looks it's age, but don't they all after this much time. However it is very effective for getting the data in. The REST services will be small extension of...

Good afternoon, I have little experience with licensing, however necessity requires it of me. I have been looking after a CHUI database/application running on a windows server with < 10 users, running progress 8.3 and I am now in a position to address the version of progress. I appreciate...

Hello Osbourne, I basically tried a little bit of code, using a browse and STATUS INPUT and that would reflect the STATUS INPUT message, as soon as it was changed. STATUS DEFAULT just wouldn't work. So it must be a change related to running Openedge ABL in window. So I just have to STATUS...

Ok, that was interesting. Thank you Marco. The first time I tried that, it didn't work, I still got the "Enter data or press ESC to end". However I press F2 again, and it appears. It is like it needs to be run twice to display the message. Very strange. So from the tram-lines, STATUS DEFAULT...

So for those going off the deep end about V8.3, absolutely agree, it is very old and very frustrating to use. However at the moment, it is the what I have to deal with, for the time being. What you don't do on a newish job is jump in and say this is crap and you need to upgrade straightaway...

Good morning, I have a problem on a 8.3 installation, where I wish to use the STATUS DEFAULT line, of the Windows session. So for instance:- STATUS DEFAULT "F1:Continue". The F1: Continue does not appear. If I do a:- UPDATE var HELP "Help text" Then the help message appears. 1. Does the...

Progress just works, it is a great strength and weakness.

Unfortunately I don't get to pick the versions of Openedge I get to work on, 8.3 is the version that has chugged along merrily for years at this company and has worked for them. I have come in to pick up the work and I hope to upgrade them this year. However the point in question is the issue...

Eek it does look depressingly similar. I am not sure how embedded INPUT THROUGH is, but I have used it quite a lot. Obviously the Windows Server is fine for now, but a change like this could sneak under the radar. Unfortunately I use my Surface Pro for development on this project. I may have...

Good afternoon, I am currently developing in Progress V8.3B on windows 10 (winver 1703) Post the Windows 10 creators update. Until recently the following piece of code was working fine. def var a as char format "x(70)". input through "echo %cd%" no-echo. import unformatted a. input close...

Thanks.

I was thinking that there would be speedier. If for instance the query has been run against a very large dataset, then instead of querying base line data, then querying the results, would be quicker?

Good morning, Okay not even sure it's a good idea, however here goes. 1. If I have a dynamic query, referenced via a handle which when run returns a set of results, is it possible to query the results of that dynamic query? 2. Or would you get the dynamic query to write the results to a...

I will give that a ponder tomorrow, when I'm back in the office.

I had a feeling that it wasn't possible, but I was hoping there was a small chance. I had a look in 11.3 reference guide and couldn't see any changes that related to it either. Thanks to you both for taking the time to reply.
