Status: Verified
GOAL:
Is there a way to pass the "Save Into" and "Directories to compile" options when calling the Progress Application Compiler in batch mode or from another .p?
GOAL:
Is the source code of the Progress Application Compiler procedure _comp.p available?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
The Progress Application Compiler is, by design, an interactive tool and can not be run in batch mode as it expects user interaction. Hence, there is no native mechanism to pass the "Save Into" and the "Directories to Compile" options because the procedure simply does not expect any input parameters.
The source code for the _comp.p procedure and other Progress Application Compiler related files is not included in the media distributed by Progress. However, these are available from PSDN Code Share for download as part of the Progress POSSENET Development Tools. These downloads (zip & tar formats) contain the source files of the Progress 9.x Development products including the Progress Application Compiler as well as other Progress development tools.
Another free download available from PSDN Code Share is the third party "Directory Tools" application, which can compile programs in a directory tree and save the resulting r-code to a target directory tree, among other useful applications.
Modifications of any source code distributed by Progress or downloaded from one of its sites are not supported by the Progress Technical Support.
