Is zlib.dll always required?..

Wed, 2011-08-31 12:45 — ristojj

Hi,

I'm having little difficulties using zlib.dll in our product, because I install it to different types of environments and it would be perfect if I could use just clean progress-code (not any unix/windows libraries etc).

I have no need to compress/uncomress or crypt files, so I beleave it would be somehow possible to get rid of that dll library

Any suggestions?

Windows Background Process w/o Taskbar Entry

Thu, 2011-06-09 11:25 — NoblePursuits

Does anyone know a way to launch an OE session in the background on Windows (XP) without having it show on the Windows Taskbar? Looking to create a "silent" process that is run from the Windows Task Scheduler that runs frequently throughout the day, and don't want the "noise" for the user.


New to Progress

Wed, 2011-06-08 15:39 — Doug_B

I landed at a company that uses QAD. They have quite a bit of custom code.

I've been looking for Progress books / samples / etc. So far, I've discovered a pdf by John Sadd.

I'm starting out with simple questions: How do you reference the lenght of an array? How do you break out of a loop, etc.

If you could point me to some resources it would be appreciated!


Can't Seem to Set WidowControl

Tue, 2011-05-31 12:33 — NoblePursuits

Using the the Word automation object, generally with great results. The problem is that I can't set the ParagraphFormat properties of WidowControl, KeepWithNext, or KeepTogether.

The OE COM Object Viewer shows these as integer values.

(from the viewer ...)
Property Set: :KeepWithNext [ = Integer-Var ].

This is apparently untrue, as usage of an integer will generate a type mismatch error at runtime. Boolean values do not generate the error, but fail to set the properties, also. I have also tried characters "0" and "1", but they generate errors. Any ideas???


New position

Fri, 2011-05-27 13:44 — reptcon

Accepted a position in March 2011 with PNY Technologies in Parsippany NJ, as Sr. Programmer/Analyst. We are installing the Epicor 9 MRP system, the business logic of which is written in Progress ABL.

I'm doing various enhancements to the Business Objects to customize the system for PNY's needs. We will eventually install e9 in our facilities in France and Taiwan.

The GUI is written in .Net and all ABL is run on appservers. We are actually using a SQL-Server database and Progress DataServer for MSSQL.

smtpmail.p has a future sent date

Thu, 2011-04-28 01:20 — NickW

Hi all,

Using v5.3 of smtpmail.p and finding that it is generating e-mails that have a sent date some 10 hours after the real sent time. I've checked the logs and can confirm that the date/time/timezone that smtpmail.p sends down the socket is right. Timezone settings also appear to be correct on the mail server.

We're running UTC+10. A mail sent at 12:27PM local time today gets a sent time of 10:27PM today... it's like the offset is being applied again. Any ideas?

TIA
NickW
