It would probably have been better if you had checked Progress / OE help or the documentation before firing off this question.
But I guess you find it easier asking the question rather than looking things up.
Casper's RTFM was subtler.

Not strictly true I suspect.

If just the information from OE Help is required i know to have a look at that itself.
Hmmm, that's all the info Casper gave you, and it answered your question, so I understand sunilnairs irritation, though his response was a bit provocative.
Reading back over some of your previous posts, saravanakumar, you are clearly not stupid, but have a tendency
sometimes to ask questions which are clarified by the manual, or could be derived by a little experimentation, which can come across as timid or lazy, even if that is not representative of you as a programmer in real life.
I wonder sometimes that as finding information in the documentation is presumably more difficult for those without English as a main language, maybe that is why these sorts of questions tend to come from people still developing their English? I don't know what languages the main docs are translated into, and if the tables were turned, I don't think I'd have much fun working out certain constructs in, say, Tamil.
Perhaps I'm being patronising though and its just idleness.
Anyway, I'm offline (mostly) for a few days, so if this turns into a flame war, its Casper's fault.
