Dear Everyone,
Greetings! I'm new in OpenEdge programming language. In OpenEdge 11.6 can create an .exe file for my project? Like in Visual Basic ? Thank you, I hope you will help me.
OpenEdge doesn't compile applications to .exe files. Applications can be compiled to a binary format called r-code. R-code is run with the OpenEdge AVM (ABL Virtual Machine). The OpenEdge AVM (prowin32.exe in 32-bit installations or prowin.exe in 64-bit applications) is the runtime engine which you use to run OpenEdge applications.
Can you help how to do it? Please?
Write a small program, perhaps:
display "Hello world!".
Save it as a file in the PROPATH directory(s).
Then enter
compile yourfilename.p
There should be a yourfilename.r created next to your .p code.
To distribute to a customer, they will need to have Progress installed on their machine (it's a bit like Java, er, Java is a bit like Progress since Progress definitely predated Java!)
Copy the .r to that machine.
Then run $DLC/bin/pro -p yourfilename.r where $DLC is where ever Progress is installed.
This is very basic but hopefully you get it - the particulars are in what operating system is being used to run the program and such.
If you are new I suggest you before start questions after questions which answers probably will not make sense to you, read the documentation www.progress.com/.../documentation
