Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.2
SYMPTOM(s):
Progress 8.2 documentation states that the INPUT FROM statements are only valid for NT and UNIX platforms.
The Progress 8.0 manuals do not state this constaint for the Progress/400 Native 4GL client
FIX:
It has been verified that INPUT FROM works fine using Native 4GL on an AS/400 database, and even using the OS-DIR clause.
For example, this procedure works fine:
DEFINE VARIABLE a AS CHARACTER FORMAT "X(40)" NO-UNDO.
OUTPUT TO PRINTER.
INPUT FROM OS-DIR(".").
REPEAT:
IMPORT a.
DISPLAY a.
END.
INPUT CLOSE.
OUTPUT CLOSE.
