Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress 4GL Handbook

Summary

In this chapter you’ve learned:

How to define temp-tables that create result sets that don’t correspond to a single database table, how to pass them as parameters, and how to display their data.
How these temp-table parameters can help you separate out the data access and business logic of your application from the user interface procedures, in preparation for building distributed enterprise applications with the Progress 4GL.

In the next chapter, you’ll learn more about Progress procedures and how to use them. There’s a lot more to using procedures than just the RUN statement, and you’ll see how the right procedure architecture can form the basis for a truly modern, object-oriented, event-driven application.
