I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this problem. Since installing Architect, when I open a .p or .w in procedure editor or appbuilder, all the code appears in black whereas before the keywords e.g. define, assign, no-undo, no-error etc would appear in blue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Derek
Looks like you don't have an OpenEdge Studio license installed, just OpenEdge Architect.
Thanks for the quick response Mike, what are the other differences between these two licenses?
OEA contains the Eclipse IDE.
OpenEdge Studio does not contain Eclipse. Therefore it still contains the color coded section editor based on a commercial active X component. When you have a PSDN subscription, install both licenses.
Otherwise discuss with Prorgess to get hand's on a eval copy for the other tool (12 months or so).
In terms of cost saving as it seems a little excessive to obtain a whole new license just to enable the keywords in blue, is there not a third party active x control that can handle this?
Thanks again
The eval license is free! Just costs a chat with your sales-rep or technical account manager.
It's a stupid solution, I know - and it costs progress usually hours of internal discussion/administration. I hope sometimes this will be removed by dropping OpenEdge Studio and making OpenEdge Architect the default (and only) IDE that also includes the color coding in the section editor / procedure editor.
That's fair enough then. Thanks again for the help Mike, shame there isn't an easier work-around!

I hope sometime soon somebody at Progress finds out that the whole processing effort at their end if far more expensive than the royalties for the Editor Active X they are trying to save.
