Analyze the Log Records

After you isolate collided records in the collision log, you can use Progress 4GL to analyze records down to the field level. Follow these steps:

  1. Find the records in the collision log that have actually collided (Collision field = Y).
  2. Use the RAW–TRANSFER statement to move the RAW data fields to expanded buffer records in a temp table.
  3. Use the BUFFER–COMPARE statement to compare the fields within the records.

For more information about these statements, see the Progress Language Reference .

Resolve Collisions and Propagate Results

After you determine the differences between records that have collided, you can resolve the collisions in any number of ways. For example:

The way you resolve collisions depends upon your business requirements. The Progress 4GL allows you to develop procedures that support all of your requirements.
