Select or hard code Outlook email account

errolc — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 09:36:23 -0600

I found that it is possible to assign/prompt for the recipient's email address. So I would like to know if it is possible to assign the Outlook 'from email account' in my program as well and what is the syntax?

Regards

Has anyone done this in Progress?

Example: 19,786,565.128 result is: Nineteen Million Seven Hundred Eighty Six Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Five Point One Hundred Twenty Eight

Should be able to process any number from 0 to unlimited. If so, can you explain the technique, method or paradigm you used?

Help for PDFInclude

carlos.valentini — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 03:04:21 -0700

Good Morning.
I need a help, with the PDFInclude library
I need to generate a PDF document, based on another PDF template document.
When copying the file into the new generated, I must change a word within the template.
Eg, inside the pdf file, read the string "& OP" and when generating a new swap file
the string by the number of the Production Order.
If someone has a very simple model, and I'm very grateful.
I'm trying to use the procedure: pdf_ReplaceTxt, but to no avail.

Thank you

Printing Reversed (white on black) text

morty — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 07:37:42 -0600

We have a system (Progress 9.1D) that creates A4 despatch note files (.prn) that can then be printed on PCL 6 compatible HP Printers

I've got to make a change that involves creating some white text on a black box. The text will be the parcel force routing codes so it will be different per despatch.

For what seems to be a simple task I've been going round in circles for days!

I've attached my latest attempt which uses some PCL 5 code I found but all it does is print the control codes out so I'm clearly doing something wrong.

PDFinclude failing with form fields

JohnP — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 11:25:04 -0600

I've been using PDFinclude with great success, producing simple text reports in pdf format. Now I'm being asked to do it with templates and form fields.
I have a very basic pdf template, just a single sheet for identifying pallets (company name, address, order-#). I designed the form in OpenOffice, added form fields and exported as pdf.
I'm running PDFinclude under RHEL, and I used the code example shown in the PDFinclude PRO docs as a starting point. If I export it without form fields, the resulting pdf is right, everything is there from the original pdf.

barcode39.i

rwsanderson — Tue, 12 Jul 2016 06:45:17 -0600

I have a legacy client running V11 chui. They have some code that produces bar codes using an old Progress include file {barcode39.i}.

Recently it was discovered that a . (period) is being read through the code as a - (dash) so they contacted me for some help.

I determined that the variable that holds the binary code equivalent of the characters had the same value for . and for -.

010000101 /* . */
010000101 /* - */

So I figured finding the correct code and replacing it would work. I see that the correct code for . is 100101000 so I replaced that in the code.
