Since V10.1C the master block in Progress database contains at least 95 fields including three fields that are not reported by dbrpr utility. Some of the fields are obsolete. There are the fields that were removed from master block (like mb_dsrCRArea that existed only in V10.0A). Other fields match the ones in _MstrBlk and _DbStatus tables - so there are documented. But there are a lot of the fields in master blocks that are not documented. Below I have attached the masterblock.txt file with the list of the master block’s fields with their description. Any additional information is welcomed. Also I attached the masterblock.sh script and the masterblock.p program. Both can read the fields of master block from disk. Both can be used for database versions from 10.0A to 12.0. masterblock.sh dbname [field …] If you will not specify the list of the master block’s fields the script will report all of them. The “mb_” prefix is not mandatory in the field’s names. Or run the masterblock.p program and choose a .db file. The program will add the dump of master block to the masterblock.dump.txt file that can be opened in Excel. So you can check how the fields in master blocks are changing over the time.
