Conversions From Progress To COM Data Types
Table B–1 lists the possible conversions from Progress data types to COM data types when setting COM object properties, passing method input parameters, or returning event output parameters.
In addition to the listed conversion pairs, Progress can convert other Progress data types to COM data types when the target COM data type is known and the data is compatible. For example, a character string with the value “123” can be converted to a Currency COM data type, even though Table B–1 does not show a default CHARACTER to Currency conversion pair.
NOTE: The names for COM data types in Table B–1 conform to a nomenclature used in the documentation for most COM objects. For matching alternatives to these names, seen in some documentation and COM object viewers, see Table B–3.
