SYMPTOM(s):
4GL/ABL: FRAME DOWN setting default to 300 lines on a DOS character client
Application designed for Progress 6.x character client with a FRAME DOWN setting of 25 rows
Migrating the application to run under Window in character (CHUI or TTY ) mode defaults the screen size to 300 rows. That is, the FRAME DOWN setting defaults to 300 rows in the DOS window client
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
CAUSE:
On windows XP and 2000, the default DOS window 'Screen Buffer Size' and 'Window Size' are 80 columns wide by 300 rows (lines) high. Most legacy DOS / character based applications were designed with an 80 column by 25 rows screens in mind.
FIX:
To change the screen or Window size of your character (TTY or CHUI) application running under Windows to 80 columns wide by 25 rows high, perform the following steps:
1. Run your Progress application.
2. Click on the icon in the top left corner of your application's DOS window.
3. Select "Default" from the drop down menu.
4. Change the 'Screen Buffer Size' height to 25 and width to 80.
5. Click OK.
6. Change the 'Window Size' height to 25 and width to 80.
7. Click OK.
8. Again, click on the icon in the top left corner of your application's window.
9. Select "Properties" from the drop down menu.
10. Change the 'Screen Buffer Size' height to 25 and width to 80.
11. Click OK.
12. Change the 'Window Size' height to 25 and width to 80.
13. Click OK.
14. Check the 'Modify shortcut that started this window' option.
15. Click OK.
