I couldn't find the 'search' button so I'm not sure if this is the right forum... We want to start replication. We have 500 offices across the country with separate Progress 8.3 (SCO Unix) databases. So we want to 'replicate' those db's by combining them into one large db at the central...

Progress 8.2C SCO Unix. We have several offices (identical structure databases with dot r's compiled against a common logical dbname 'dbempty'). Now, they want to fold the office into one and keep the databases on one machine. The problem is that they want the 'tie in' menu to run from an...

Am I missing something: (Progress 8.2c CHUI SCO Unix) (Table Customer has Name, City, State, etc. ) when I go: FOR EACH CUSTOMER WHERE soundex(CITY) = soundex("OTTAWA"): display CUSTOMER. END. I get no results. but.... FOR EACH CUSTOMER: IF soundex(CITY) = soundex("OTTAWA") THEN...

In the dbanalys output index section, there's a column on the right (SCO Unix Progress 8.2c) that's labeled "% UTIL" and another labeled "FACTOR". I thought these report the usage rates of the indexes listed. I just created a new database with a couple of word indexes on a table. I have _not_...

I made some code to display a report to a disk file. Then use an editor widget's read-file method to view it on screen (Character SCO Unix / Progress 8.2c). Worked fine. Then I placed the code in a persistent procedure to make this available to other reports. I just copied the code straight...

In the notes section of the documentation (Version 8.3 Dynatext format) for the PROBKUP utility, I ran across a reference to this parameter. The context: You cannot perform an on-line backup on: - A system running in single-user mode - A system without shared memory - A database that was...

Progress 8.3c on SCO Unix. The docs say that to go from field to field in an update browse to use EDITOR-TAB (Ctrl-G) and BACK-TAB (Ctrl-U). This works, but I can't roll out a screen telling users to do a ctrl-g/u. So I thought I would try to use an event and then apply "EDITOR-TAB" to the...

Has anyone used the xref compile feature to load into a database to show programs that access/update db fields? We have an application (8.2c/SCO Unix) that will be re-written and I wanted to read in the source to a database that stored the basics: Table/ Field names, search / update / access...

Did you convert the data from the old ProgressTalk forum format? Maybe it's there and I just don't 'see' it. There were some good articles and code snippets that would be nice get back to. Thanks
