The procedure for creating database procedures and 4GL procedures are similar. Highlight SQL on the Create a Proceduretype Procedure frame to display the Edit a Database Procedure Definition frame.

You create the database procedure outside of ABF, using the SQL create procedure statement. See the SQL Reference Guide for more information on creating database procedures.

The Edit a Database Procedure Definition frame does not contain the Edit or Compile operations. The remaining operations are described above for the other procedure types.

To complete the Edit a Database Procedure Definition frame, follow the steps in Define a 3GL Procedure that apply to Database procedure fields. Choose Create to create an entry for the procedure in the ABF system catalogs.
