GOAL:
How to utilize SESSION:TIME-SOURCE when using the AppServer w/o database connection
FIX:
Running the Progress client without a database connection utilizing the AppServer
and obtaining the Server time/date information from the machine where the AppServer is running can be done the following way:
Create a procedure that should run on the AppServer which has internal procedures (or functions) named e.g. 'serverTime' and 'serverDate'. If necessary, then these procedures might set SESSION:TIME-SOURCE using the connected database and have the output parameter that returns the time or date information to the requesting client.
