What is Progress OpenEdge
Progress OpenEdge is an integrated and productive application platform for the development, deployment and management of these backend business applications.
Learn ABL
The Advanced Business Language (ABL), a fourth-generation programming language (4GL), is the programming language in the Progress OpenEdge application development platform.
What is a fourth-generation programming language (4GL)?
The 4GL coding language reduces software development's overall time, effort and cost with database queries, report generators, data manipulation and more. 4GLs are designed to be closer to human language, making them easier to use and understand. The use of 4GL in OpenEdge enhances productivity and allows for the creation of robust, scalable business applications.
ABL is designed specifically to express business processes as efficiently as possible. ABL is used by more than 100,000 organizations, six million+ business users and many more mobile users.
Includes a full-featured tool set, with an editor, compiler, debugger, data dictionary, and data administration utilities
Provides an ideal solution for software vendors who want to allow their end users to customize or maintain an application on-site in the cloud
