[Stackoverflow] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] calling a dll using Progress 4gl

[Luke Taylor]

I am needing to use a dll to obtain data from a webservice. I was given sample code from our VB.net group on how they make the call. I need direction in how to do the exact same thing within Progress.

    Dim getTitleResponse as String = String.Empty
