Why does Progress go back to the initial screen after a session crash?


Hello all and thanks for viewing this question,

I have a program that users get access to via a login screen. Once the user's credentials have been validated on the login screen, the main program is called (from the login screen) and the login screen disappears. All good. However, if the session crashes (or I press CTRL-PAUSE), the main program is terminated and I end up at the initial login screen. I'd have assumed that after a session crash, Progress (11.4) should take me back to the OS (Windows Server 2012), but not back to the initial screen. I have tried placing QUIT in different areas of the program, but Progress still takes me back to the initial screen, while I need it to quit completely. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


Solution

  • I believe I have found a way to quit the initial login screen when this appears as the result of a session crash, by using the the ETIME function. Thanks again, Mike for your response.
