I am trying to run a progress procedure in a UNIX script, but I seem to be having a bit of an issue. The line in the script looks something like this: $DLC/bin/mpro -pf <pf file> -p <procedurename> For some reason, the script throws me into the procedure editor when the procedure is...

I am using the Win32 progress procedure editor to write some programs where I want to some various includes. Whenever I go to check my syntax, I always get errors over these includes. Where do I need to keep these includes so that the PE takes these includes into consideration. On the AIX...

The syntax of the progress command line. Thanks. :-)

That's exactly what I'm looking to do... is set up a cron job to run the procedure. What I need to know is the syntax of the commands to put in this cron job. Sorry if that wasn't so clear in my first post. :-)

I'm not really sure this is the best place to post this question, but I get such great help here, I figured I would give it a try. I have some procedures written in character progress that update records, spit out reports, and a few other things. The problem is that I want these procedures to...

Re: Or It doesn't look like that's working for me either. It's not allowing me to add the VALIDATE statement in parentheses within my UPDATE statement nor will it allow me to use the statement by itself against a variable (at least that's why I'm guessing it didn't work based on what the...

I tried adding this statement, and now when I run the procedure. After getting the alert box, the procedure ends rather than taking me back to the variable I specify. Am I missing something here? :confused: Thanks again... - Marshall

Awesome! I will give that a try. Thanks for your help! :D

I know this is probably going to be a really dumb, simple question... but this is how we learn, right? :D I have two frames defined in my procedure. Both are being used to update variables. I use an UPDATE statement for the user to update the first set of vairables, then use a second UPDATE...

That does make sense. I will just stick with the if, then statements then. I appreciate the insight. Thanks a lot. :-)

I'm writing a program to assign a value to a field in the customer records based on some calculated sales dollars. There are multiple values that this field can be assigned to and this is driven by where the total sales value falls. I thought the best way to execute this would be by using the...

Hooray! That was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much. :cool: - Marshall

Cool! That's an awesome idea! Where does the pf file need to be located for this to work? I have it in %DLC%\bin, but it tells me it can't open the pf file? Thanks again for all your help. :D - Marshall

I really like using the procedure editor that come with the Win32 version of progress because of some of it's automatic formatting and color-coding. The problem is that our Progress DB is running on our AIX server. So if I want to use the Win32 procedure editor, but still want to check my...
