You can start a single-user interactive session against a database using:

  • The PROWIN command in Windows
  • The PRO command in UNIX
In Windows, the syntax of the PROWIN command is:
prowin db-name -1 –p procedure-name
In UNIX, the syntax of the PRO command is:
pro db-name –p procedure-name
Note: You can also start a single-user interactive session against a database in character mode using the _PROGRES command in either Windows or UNIX. It has the same syntax as PROWIN.

Assume that the appdb database is offline and there is an OpenEdge procedure file, dispcust.p, which displays customer information.

In Windows, you can run dispcust.p in a single-user interactive session against appdb:
prowin appdb -1 –p dispcust.p
In UNIX, you can perform the same task using this command:
pro appdb –p dispcust.p
