OpenEdge Advanced Business Language
OpenEdge Advanced Business Language, or OpenEdge ABL for short, is a business application development language created and maintained by Progress Software Corporation (PSC). The language, typically classified as a fourth-generation programming language, uses an English-like syntax to simplify software development. The language was called PROGRESS or Progress 4GL up until version 9, but in 2006 PSC changed the name to OpenEdge Advanced Business Language (OpenEdge ABL) in order to overcome a presumed industry perception that 4GLs were less capable than other languages. A subset of the language, called SpeedScript, is used in the development of web applications.
OpenEdge ABL helps developers to develop applications optionally using its own integrated relational database and programming tool. These applications are portable across computing systems and allow access to various popular data sources without having to learn the underlying data access methods. This means that the end-user of these products can be unaware of the underlying architecture.
Progress (train)
Progress was an express train between Prague, then the capital of Czechoslovakia, and the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
Introduced in 1974, Progress went through a number of iterations, and also endured a one-year period off the rails, until it ceased running altogether in about 1990.
History
Progress first ran in 1974. Initially, it was categorised as a Schnellzug, D76/77, and ran between Praha-Holešovice in Prague and Berlin-Lichtenberg in East Berlin, GDR.
In 1986, Progress was recategorised as one of the new top-of-the-line Interexpress services, and renumbered as IEx 78/79. Its route remained as before.
Progress ran as an Interexpress only until 1988, when it disappeared from the timetable.
The following year, Progress was revived, and its route extended further north, from East Berlin to Rostock Hauptbahnhof in Rostock, GDR. However, it was soon discontinued once again.
