    No server for database

    Thanks, I got there eventually. After what you said about version differences I checked, and the mpro in $PATH was version 7.foo. So a quite find / -name mpro later and I found one in a directory called dlcV8/bin which does the job nicely. Thanks again.

    Using "pro" gives this error: ** The database /usr2/1062c/sys1/live/db/live is in use in multi-user mode. (276)

    No server for database

    I wouldn't know how to check my settings. All I know is that the version of Progress is 8.3B running on HP-UX 10.20. How can I check other things?

    No server for database

    I know the server is running because there are lots of users accessing the database. Why I can't is a mystery

    No server for database

    I'm trying to run a 4gl procedure in batch mode using mpro. However whenever I run the command I get the error message: There is no server for database /usr2/1062c/sys1/live/db/live. (1423) This is the correct path to the database (called live.db) and there is definately a server running...

    Executing a 4GL procedure

    I've now got a 4GL procedure to do what I need it to do. Next thing is being able to run it from the command line. Bascially I'd like to be able to run it from with cron. I'm using Progress 8.3b on HP-UX 10.20 - is there a command to what I need; basically take a file containing the 4GL code...

    Extracting Lots of Data

    It's not, strictly speaking a one off procedure. It will probably want to be run every night to update data in the Access database. I wouldn't know where to start writing a 4gl procedure, or what one even is - any pointers on where to start? All I know about the Progress license is that...

    Extracting Lots of Data

    I've been trying to pull about 40000 (forty thousand) records from a database (the database is about 2gig in total) using Merant's ODBC drivers to get the data into access. This causes Access to crash without fail. I was hoping that there would either be a solution to this, or possibly someone...
