I'm trying to develop a program that will connect to a Progress Database (9.1E) using C# (Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate), but I first need to get a connection string to the Progress Database from the C# program. I have tried the following, but I'm unsuccessful in establishing a connection to the Progress database. I'm not sure what the connection string should look like, but here's what I have before I start expanding everything. Also, I'm not sure what the DSN name should be. private void downloadData_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { try { string connectString = "DSN = QADDB; Host =

In "Talend Data Integration" I want to create a connection using JDBC to a Progress OpenEdge database. I have no experience whatsoever with this type of connection. My ODBC-connections to the same resources work fine, but Talend requires a JDBC connection to function properly. The connection settings in Talend I have at the moment are: DB Type: General JDBC JDBC URL: jdbc:sqlserver://db-name:port;databaseName= * * Driver jar: ??? (which jar-file do I need for OpenEdge?) Class name: ??? (which class name do I need for OpenEdge?) User name: * Password: * Schema: ??? (don't know what this means..

def var cList as char no-undo. assign cList = "one,two,three,four". <Loop> cList logic... </Loop> What's the best way to loop through a comma delimited list in a char variable so that in this example I would get one then two then three then four. Lol I still remember a bit of Progress I think. DEF VAR i AS INT NO-UNDO. &SCOPED-DEFINE LIST "one,two,three,four" DO i=1 TO NUM-ENTRIES({&LIST}): MESSAGE SUBSTITUTE("LIST[&1] is &2", i, ENTRY(i, {&LIST})). END. DEFINE VARIABLE ch-list AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO. DEFINE VARIABLE i-cnt AS INTEGER NO-UNDO. DEFINE VARIABLE i-entry AS INTEGER NO-UNDO. ASSIGN ch

The Progress docs spill plenty of ink on SOAP, but I'm having trouble finding the example for a simple HTTP GET/POST with Progress ABL. How do I GET and POST strings to/from a URL? Can the URL be https://? Can Progress provide HTTP Basic or HTTP Digest authentication? Openedge has built in statements for handling SOAP services, but no simple statement for a GET/POST. What it does have, however, is a mechanism to read / write to specific sockets. So you could use this to build a HTTP post routine, or for that matter a routine to handle any other socket based protocol. There is a routine - http
