Jasper,
Unfortunately, BPMs will not be available until you reach 8.x (maybe
even 8.03) but for now, I can offer some help with .p writing. I found
little documentation on how to write them, but through the help of this
group and a helpful CAM a few years back, I taught myself what I needed
to know.
First, I think you will find an example in the UD folder of a .p (open
it with notepad if you like).
The next thing it to make use of Progress help to learn some 4GL syntax.
If you have some idea of what you would like the alert to contain (it's
a bit easier if all the information comes from the table creating the
alert, but it's not so big an issue to include other tables, you just
have to link them by hand) let us know and someone will give you an idea
of what code your .p will need to contain.
Best of luck,
Aaron Hoyt
