SYMPTOM(s):
_setcurs.r doesn't work
Calling _setcurs.r doesn't change the cursor form without any error message.
CAUSE:
_setcurs.r in windows should simply execute the following:
DEFINE VAR ldummy AS LOGICAL NO-UNDO.
/* Set the Wait state, which changes the cursor automatically */
ldummy = SESSION:SET-WAIT-STATE(IF p_cursor = "WAIT" THEN "GENERAL"
ELSE "" ).
p_cursor is the input string passed to the _setcurs.r procedure that could be either "WAIT" or "".
In some cases has been reported that Progress fails to execute this statement by simply ignoring it.
FIX:
explicitly use the SESSION:SET-WAIT-STATE method instead of the _setcurs.r procedure:
SESSION:SET-WAIT-STATE("general").
SESSION:SET-WAIT-STATE("").
instead of
RUN _setcurs.r ("WAIT").
RUN _setcurs.r ("").
