Haversine implementation in ABL

Mon, 2012-02-06 06:44 — d.cook

This is the Haversine formula translated into an ABL procedure. The Haversine formula is used for determining the Great-Circle distance in km between two latitude/longitude references.

The formula is based off the Javascript interpretation here: http://www.codecodex.com/wiki/Calculate_Distance_Between_Two_Points_on_a...

Requires Progress STandard Libraries with math_asin function uncommented (see http://www.oehive.org/node/2057)


slibmath.p Functions commented out

Mon, 2012-02-06 06:27 — d.cook

A large portion of this file is commented out, including the math_atan function which I wanted!
I have uncommented it, and commented out just the math_sin, math_cos and math_tan functions (already defined).
Is there a reason for this?

(BTW really appreciate this library!)

Updating multiple tables

Sun, 2012-01-01 16:24 — jim_chance

I'm trying to update 3 fields in 2 tables based on the following, but I'm getting a syntax error.
Error: Syntax error (7587) (State:37000, Native Code: FFFFB1DD)

What's wrong with this statement?

update pub.poheader, pub.podetail, pub.porel
set openorder = 0, openline = 0, openrelease = 0
where ph.PONum = pd.PONum
and pd.PONum = pr.PONum
and pr.poline = pd.poline
and ph.openorder = 1
and pd.openline = 1
and pr.openrelease = 1
and ph.orderdate < '2011-01-01'

Dries Feys was good enough to send out a new base64encode.p file over the peg. I am posting it here for further distribution (and use!)

What is the most efficient way to achieve this?

I have already create code to get this done, but it performs much to slow. (see code snippet: METHODE 1)

I was try to increase the performance for the conversion by using base64 as an intermediate form.
But i can not get it to work. See code snippets METHODE 2 and METHODE 3)

Generation of XML files in UTF-8 format

Thu, 2011-11-17 11:13 — sharon

Hi,

I'm trying to generate XML files in UTF-8 format using progress. The purpose of this is to display hebrew characters.
The current code page is "ISO8859-1". The only codepages which have collation to hebrew seem to be "ISO8859-8" and "IBM862".
Is there any way to convert codepage from "ISO8859-1" to either "ISO8859-8" or "IBM862"? Or is a code page conversion from "ISO8859-1" to "UTF-8" sufficient?
Please advise.

Thanks.

Voleso HTML Templating Tool Open Sourced

Sat, 2011-10-22 09:32 — Scott Auge

The first time one needs to rework the HTML for look and feel in an application, one quickly learns about the need for separating the HTML from the application code. HTML Mapping was an attempt at this, however, there is still the need for a Progress Development License as well re-compiling on changed code.

Other languages have encountered this need – PHP with the Smarty template processor as well the various one's used in the C and C++ world. These processors do not require re-compiling and allow for HTML designers to work outside of the application code environment.
