I am trying to modernize my application but at a minimal cost. Rewriting my entire system that I developed on Progress/Openedge since 2001 is something I am trying to run away from, so to speak. In Progress/Openedge, there is a way you can run startup parameter files in batch mode so that they are executed in the background.
I want my user interface to be Kendo UI and be able to pick some input data from the user inputs, save it as a .txt or .csv file, call a Progress ABL via a batch mode in the background, import it into an Openedge table, execute the Progress ABL programs for it, get the outcome and save it as a .txt or .csv, then import the outcome back into Kendo UI for the user to interact with it. I feel this is faster than rewriting all my Progress ABL codes afresh.
Is this scenario achievable?

Hi Zadock,
The Kendo UI suite provides a set of UI tools and you can create forms or any other kind of UI that will gather the data on the client-side (from the user). After you get the data you can send it to your back end and proceed with the other requirements.
Here you can find a list of demos for the Kendo UI components:
For the Kendo UI documentation, please refer to the following link:
