The OpenEdge Hive

Eric Debeij, Sr. Product Consultant for Progress Netherlands, has constructed a ABL wrapper around the enormous wealth of possibilities of calls from Progress to Crystal. It offers a set of ABL applications which implement a very easy to use interface which takes care of all the hard stuff for you. It implements:

• Client-side generation, viewing, exporting and printing.




• AppServer-side generation, printing, exporting and report layout storage.




• Business Objects Enterprise generation, printing, mailing, exporting, ftp, and result storage.




• Both ODBC and XML connectivity: XML means that a temp table or ProDataSet is being exported to disk, and Crystal is then using that particular file to retrieve data.
