900822-pmf02
INTRODUCTION:
=============
This is an overview of the Progress Procedure Library.
Here you will find various programming procedures
that you may find useful while developing your
application. It is also here where you can unpack
procedures which are illustrated in the Reference, Programming,
and Tutorial Guides.
WHY YOU NEED TO DO THIS:
========================
You may find a procedure or procedures which will
aid in speeding up the development cycle, as it would
already be coded for you.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
Make sure the local buffer parameter is set to 100
for a startup option. Come into your database in
the normal method for your site. From the Progress editor
hit F2. This will take you to the main Help menu. Choose
p. ACCESS THE PROCEDURE LIBRARY. You will notice there are
10 choice from this menu. A brief description of each follows:
1. Extract. Use this choice to extract any item from the
procedure library.
2. Search. Use this choice to find the libraries where a
specific procedure resides.
3. Test Bench. This is used to unpack and run procedures, or read
the associated documentation for a procedure or group of
procedures.
4. Add/Update Library. This portion is used to make changes or
additions to the Procedure Library.
5. Delete. This portion is used to delete procedures from the
Procedure Library.
6. Change .lp storage directory. The libraries are defaulted to
the Prodemo sub-directory. Use this choice to tell the Procedure

temporary. After exiting Progress, the default again becomes
the Prodemo sub-directory.
7. Help. Use this to find detailed instructions on how to use the
Procedure Library.
8. Run Progress Program. This selection is used to run a Progress
