GOAL:

Can I create a database in a path which has a space in the name

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 8.2x

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 8.3x

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 9.x

FIX:

Yes.
Progress, as of version 8.2x supported long file names for directories.
To reference a database in a directory with a space in the directory name
it will be necessary to encompass the full path including the database name in double quotes.
Example:
If the database exists in d:\my test directory and the database is named johndoe.db
Here would be the command line to connect to the database:
mpro "e:\my test directory\johndoe"

If you were connecting within a procedure you would use the following syntax:
connect "e:\my test directory\johndoe".
