Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress 4GL Reference

FIRST-PROCEDURE attribute

For AppServer, returns the first entry in the list of remote persistent procedures running on the connected AppServer. For Web services, returns the first entry in the list of procedure objects associated with the Web service.

Data type: HANDLE

Access: Readable

Applies to: Server object handle, SESSION system handle

If the current session has no active persistent procedures or the AppServer has no active remote persistent procedures, FIRST-PROCEDURE has the Unknown value (?). To find the next persistent procedure given the first, use the NEXT-SIBLING attribute of the procedure handle.

For information on creating persistent procedures, see the RUN statement reference entry in this book. For more information on the AppServer, see OpenEdge Application Server: Developing AppServer Applications . To check a handle for validity, use the VALID-HANDLE function.
