NOT getting output in test.out file using proenv, after executing .p file

i am a newbie on progress. i just followed the below kb article, but i am not getting the desired output. https://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Knowledge/How-to-write-a-p-script-to-execute-via-proenv-to-produce-a-stderr-stdout-in-a-file

  1. i have created a test.p file with below code:
MESSAGE ENTRY (1, "This is a test") VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
MESSAGE "Hello there" VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
DISPLAY "hello world".
  1. chmod +x test.p
  2. then in proenv i run below command
proenv>proenv -b -p test.p > test.out
  1. i found only below output on test.out file
$ cat test.out

      DLC: /opt/progress/117
   WRKDIR: /opt/progress/wrk_117
      OEM: /opt/progress/oemgmt_117
OEMWRKDIR: /opt/progress/wrk_oemgmt_117

Inserting /opt/progress/117/bin to beginning of path and
setting the current directory to /opt/progress/wrk_117.

Solution

  • Try

    _progres -b -p test.p > test.out

    or

    bpro -p test.p > test.out

    proenv launches a shell with DLC and other variables set. Proenv does not directly execute ABL code.
