Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Object-oriented Programming

Using procedure libraries

You can store and retrieve the r-code for class files using procedure libraries.

The DEFINE and NEW statements search the PROPATH for the specified class r-code file. If the statements encounter a procedure library on the PROPATH, Progress searches these libraries for the specified r-code.

The RUN statement supports the ability to execute an r-code file stored in a procedure library that is not on the PROPATH using the following syntax:

Syntax

RUN procedure-library-path<<member-name>>

There is no support of this capability for classes. When you define an object reference or create an object instance, the r-code for that object must be found on the PROPATH.
