I started out with Reality and remember the first training courses well. During the four day slog when the trainer reached the section on PROC he just said "PQN, thats all you need to know about proc" and we moved onto the next topic!

Still I can understand and write PROC, it is a necessity when you have customers whose systems have been written to rely so heavily on it.

Have a great weekend folks.

I can still read and write both PQ and PQN (OK, I'm old). In eons past it was possible on Microdata to write an entire database app, with file reads and writes - not that I would want to (I'm cantankerous, not masochistic, suicidal or stupid). I wouldn't even want to convert one to Basic anymore, too much head scratching and I don't have all that much hair left.

Gotta love paragraphs - there's a lot of power there and they're much easier to understand and maintain.

Ah, but how many of them can still write PQ procs  ;-)

By the way, I today, for the first time in my career, encountered a seasoned Pick BASIC programmer, conversant with Paragraphs, but who did not know what
Proc was.  Never heard of it.

It only took 20 years of trying to make Proc die I guess ;)~~~~
