Question Progress

Hi all,

I want to convert a software written in Progress language with a Progress database to a Delphi Language. Does anyone know if this is possible? And if is there any tool that make it automatically, or at least give any help to?

Greetings, Anderson.

Hi,
There is no software which can do this automatically. Progress 4GL has procedural keywords syntax similar to Pascal (and I guess that it is similar to Delphi as well). The problem is that Progress offers very efficient but not SQL-compliant statements and blocks for data access and building transactions. This problem refers to every language and IDE/ADE other, than Progress. You must simply rewrite all Progress application. You should consider if it is worth doing.

Bogdan
