The OpenEdge Hive

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.

This all works fine for programs that only contain one frame. However, some programs contain 'secondary' frames which only display under certain conditions. When the program is manually run, the secondary frame is triggered by a 'go' event, after a specific frame field is populated (a 'wrapper' program is being used here, calling the main program and triggering various sub-programs based on certain 'go' events).

But when I run the program via the input file, the 'go' event never occurs and the secondary frame never displays! When I look at the 'output' file from the program, I see that the fields are being populated correctly, one-after-the-other, but the 'go' events (moving from field-to-field) are not firing.

Is there another event (besides 'go') that is firing here (doing the same thing as 'go', apparently)? If there are two events that do the same thing, that seems like questionable design!

Please advise.

Thanks!
