How to store non-ASCII and binary .bmp objects in Roundtable
DRAFT COPY - Currently under review and edit.
INTRODUCTION:
=============
The Progress database does not store non-ascii data. Roundtable needs
to be able to do this because of the amount of non-ascii development
items used at this time. Roundtable provides an encryption algorithm
that allows you to store non-ascii objects in the repository.
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
===========================
Developers need to be able to store bitmaps, VBX, WBX, and other
non-ascii information in the Roundtable repository.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
Create an object using the appropriate code sub-type defining the
object as a PCODE object.
Change the encryption flag of the object (Spec folder in GUI) to B.
This B flag tells Roundtable to store this object as a binary object.
