Extract adecomm.pl

Unless you are running Progress version 8 or TTY mode, you will need to extract adecomm.pl.

This is because the codepreview window contains an editor, which uses the same syntax-coloring editor as the Progress Appbuilder, and adecomm.pl contains the includefiles that makes this possible.

Instructions

Open a command shell and change directory to your DLC directory. In the following example I will assume this is directory "c:\Program Files\Progress" :


cd \progra~1\progress\gui

set DLC=c:\progra~1\progress
c:\progra~1\progress\bin\prolib ..\src\adecomm.pl -extract *.i

Missing files

In trying to compile Prolint in 11.0 I am running into similar issues. Not found is
adecomm\adestds.i
adecomm\peditor.i
src\adm\template\dialogmn.i
As in the other comment, there is no adecomm.pl in src, but one in gui and tty. I have tried extracting the .i from both, but I am not getting the files above. The only files in src\adm\template are three that start with br. Not in adm2 either. I can make the errors go away by pointing to a directory containing the complete tools code, but it seems to me that we either need an updated procedure or some other way to accomplish this.


Prolint Desktop Error Message

On run of prolint/desktop.w I got the error:

MESSAGE "Sorry you will need to extract src/adecomm.pl" SKIP
"I will now show you a help file with instructions"

After clicking the OK button this page opened.

I am running OE 10.2B05 Architect. adecomm.pl is in the gui and tty directories but not src. From the editor did "compile /prolint/desktop.p save" and the problem went away.
