User-interaction Code

Progress allows you to include any type of 4GL statement within a database trigger block, including those that involve user interaction. However, it is usually not a good idea to include any statements that call for input from the user. For example, if the user runs your procedure in batch mode, a trigger with a prompt causes the procedure to stop, waiting for user input. Also, if an application is written in ESQL, it can not receive user input.
