The OpenEdge Hive

I have a legacy character progress application (WDS-II) and would like to create a process to generate customer packing slips for orders using a centralized Crystal reports. Has anyone done this before? We are running OE10.1B03 on 64 bit Linux (soon to upgarde to OE10.2A). We have 4 locations and would like to centralize a Crystal report system for handling the printing of packing slips so any customization can be done in one spot. Any info on the best way to implement this would be great. Please include the best way for Crystal to communicate with OE.

Hi,

I am working on some projects that use 'Progress Redirection' to programmatically populate the main input frame in a maintenance screen program using values from an 'input file'.

To populate the frame manually, a user 'tabs' from field-to-field within a sub-frame and 'carriage-returns' to subsequent sub-frames within the frame. My 'input files' reflect this, listing 'tabbed' fields on the same line (separated by spaces), and signaling 'carriage-returns' with new lines.

I need to know what is the command to see the agent's state of OE management in the server where the database is located, thanks for the help.

On a programmer mailing list, there was a question about how to call out to a class in C++ from the Progress ABL. The following gives an example of doing so.

First, here is a bit of C++ code that hopefully illustrates a wrapper on how to call out to a class from the Progress interface (explanation follows):

------------ 2.cpp -----------

extern "C" {

int TestRoutine () ;

}




class A {

 private :

 int A1;

 public :

 int SetA1 (int V) {

   A1 = V;

 }

 int GetA1 () {

   return A1;

 }

}; // class A


int TestRoutine () {
  

Hey,

Lets suppose my current progress session(Version 10.2c) is having a database COMMON running on it. This database has 3 tables Customer, Order & Service.

Now I want to restrict certain user 'A' to be allowed to view data in Customer table only i.e. this particular user should not have insert, update or delete rights. It can only view data in one of the tables of COMMON database.
Assumption : User will be using procedure editor which they will be starting using mpro from command line to view data in Customer table.

PDFInclude has a new version!


I've just released some code in the SVN repository.
See the PdfInclude page for more info on the bug fixes and new features.


However I'm not taking over as a full time maintainer, I just do that in my free time, so please don't except too much ;-)

I'm reading Martin Fowler's refactoring and will work out some of his methods (which also apply to building new software) in this blog. Read this to get some background info:

Any body can you Differentiate Progress V9 and OpenEdge

It has been noted that once something is on the internet, it is there forever. Apparently, this is somewhat wrong for certain types of information. The Progress E-Zine collection continues to be available on the internet, but often it is tucked away in corners that are hard to find.

With this in mind, a three volume set of the E-Zines in bound printed form are now available. No more binders full of printer paper versions of the monographs, simply reach into the book shelf for the bound copy and enjoy.

The books can be purchased from these locations:

Dear All,

I need to refresh data in my screen automatically without operator, when new data inserted in my database.
How do I get that ?

Thank's
