GOAL:
4GL/ABL: Can I programmatically update a field in the _Connect Virtual System Table?
GOAL:
Can the Database Connection File (_Connect) be updated using 4GL/ABL?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
No, updating Virtual System Tables is not supported. Hence, you can not update the _Connect Virtual System Table using 4GL/ABL code. Attempting to execute any code that would modify or otherwise change any field in this table will generate a warning error message. For example, executing the following code:
FIND FIRST _Connect EXCLUSIVE-LOCK.
ASSIGN _Connect._Connect-Misc = 123.
generates the warning: "Updating _Connect Virtual System Table is not supported".
