pid's of 4gl clients, servers ? or for launching external applications like notepad, word etc. ?

If you are after the process ID of the Progress session running your 4GL code you could use the following code:

define variable liProcessID as integer no-undo.

run GetCurrentProcessId(output liProcessID).

message liProcessID
view-as alert-box info buttons ok.

procedure GetCurrentProcessId external "kernel32":
define return parameter intProcessHandle as long.
end procedure.
​

If you run it in a client session you receive the process ID of your client session;
If you run it on an app server you receive the process ID of your app server session.
