alanflint — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 18:38:37 +0000

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 10:04:21 +0000

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 13:37:42 +0000

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.

Statement in else missing End Statement

dmarteinson — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 23:06:36 +0000

This parses OK using OpenEdge 11.5 but seems to hang ProParse, likely due to the missing '.' in the else?:

------- begin --------
/* an if statement with a missing end of statement marker in the else */ if vSharedVariable = “Some value” then run program1.p. else run program2.p
------- end --------

Regards,

barcode39.i

rwsanderson — Tue, 12 Jul 2016 12:45:17 +0000

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.
