Object-Oriented ABL Techniques

tamhas — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 16:47:50 -0600

This group will serve as a focal point for discussions, examples, and projects intended to help people utilize the object-oriented language features which became available in OE10.1. The intention is to:
1) Develop established object-oriented design principles in a way that is consistent with a 4GL;
2) Provide OO-based contributions to OERA-compliant architectures; and
3) Assist in the utilization of OO techniques in the context of existing procedural code.

Contributions to this purpose will include white paper discussions, code fragments illustrating techniques, and complete model components to use in building applications.

PDF Include

jice — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 14:02:05 -0600

PDFinclude is an open source Progress utility for dynamically generating reports in Adobe PDF file format without having to use third-party tools or utilities.

PDFInclude is a Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS), distributed under the Eclipse Public License.

PDFinclude is a stand-alone component that defines a toolset of Progress functions and procedures that aid in the output of a PDF file directly from 4GL/ABL, without having to generate a separate text file first (as in text2pdf.p).

ProED4W

jurjen — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 00:44:08 -0600

Purpose of Proed4w:

If you are using "ED for Windows" (version 4) and are editing .p or .w files, you can use this tool as a communication bridge between ED for Windows and a Progress session.

You can do:
- create a "Compile" button in Ed for Windows
- compile 4GL code from within Ed
- Ed shows compile warnings and errors in its Build results window.

You can also:
Launch Prolint from within ED for Windows to have it check the current sourcefile.

Prolint

jurjen — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 06:28:20 -0600

Prolint is a tool for automated source code review of Progress 4GL code. It reads one or more sourcefiles and examines it for bad programming practice

When you are interested Prolint, you are encouraged to subscribe to this group where you find the on-line tools to collaborate and discuss Prolint. There is a discussion forum, you can submit issues (for bugs and enhancement requests), you can modify the on-line documentation. So subscribe, and then don't forget to go to your subscription details to enable the e-mail notification!

Sandbox

john2 — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 18:37:50 -0600

You must be subscribed to the Sandbox in order to use it for playing or for tentative work. We use this group because all nodes require a group "audience". Use this Sandbox as the audience if you are just playing or if you are not yet ready to publish the nodes you are creating. If you decide to publish your node, you can change it to another group (other than Sandbox), and request that your new node be referenced from some existing node on the Hive.

This group will be used to tag all OE Hive content which relates to UML, modeling, and the Enterprise Architect product. Subscribe to this group to be notified of any additions or changes to this content.

Win32 API samples

jurjen — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 11:45:20 -0600

This collection of code snippets used to be hosted on www.global-shared.com.

It is an old collection: it all began in 1996 or 1997, when Progress 8 was new and many of us were still using Windows 3.1 !!

Unlike wine or paintings, program code doesn't get better when it ages. You can find fragments that can be improved because Microsoft continuously expands their API, or are outdated because Progress has added features to the ABL so we don't need to use the WIN32 API anymore.
