running .bat & .exe files from a Progress program

Posted by Admin on 01-Dec-2009 10:41

Does anyone know how to write a Progress program that will run .bat & .exe files? The user would browse to the file, click on it, it would run, then come back to the Progress program and the user would choose another file to run and keep doing this until they hit the done button.

Lookup the OS-COMMAND statement from the ABL language reference.
