FIX:
The following code sample demonstrates how to spawn a new batch GUI 4GL/ABL client session from the current 4GL/ABL session. For character 4GL/ABL clients change the name of the client executable from prowin32.exe to _progres.exe:
DEFINE VARIABLE cCommandLine AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN
cCommandLine = 'C:\Progress91E\bin\prowin32.exe sports2000 -b -p C:\WRK91E\SomeReport.p'.
OS-COMMAND SILENT VALUE(cCommandLine).
The following code sample shows how to pass parameters to a 4GL/ABL client session from its startup command line using the -param client session startup parameter. The 4GL/ABL client session can access these parameters using the SESSION:PARAMETER attribute:
DEFINE VARIABLE cCommandLine AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN
cCommandLine = 'C:\Progress91E\bin\prowin32.exe sports2000 -param "Customer, CustNum, Name, Balance, Where Balance > 1000" -b -p C:\WRK91E\DynamicReport.p'.
OS-COMMAND NO-WAIT NO-CONSOLE VALUE(cCommandLine).
