Compile-time Versus Run-time Execution

In Progress you execute a procedure using the RUN statement. However, you can use two basic techniques to compile and execute a procedure:

Both techniques use the PROPATH environment variable settings. That is, both the COMPILE and RUN statements locate procedures using PROPATH. (For more information on the PROPATH environment variable, see the Progress Client Deployment Guide.) How the RUN statement executes a procedure (compile-time or run-time execution) depends on how you set up your environment and when you choose to compile the procedure. Each technique provides different capabilities and advantages.
