– These are the native Progress 4GL (Advanced Business Language) source files. They are not R files. However, novice users sometimes mistakenly call them "Progress R files" due to the .r extension used in other contexts (e.g., R scripting language).
If you are looking for a way to actually decompile a file, here are the most recognized community resources and services: Convert .r to .p - ProgressTalk.com
Calls like RUN value(p_program_name) cannot be resolved statically. Decompiler emits a comment + generic RUN placeholder.
: Services such as Progress Tools offer paid recovery for .r code. They claim to recover 60% to 100% of the original information, though the resulting source is not identical to the original.
For a comprehensive recovery of program logic, commercial decompilers are the primary solution. The most well-known tool in the industry is (and its associated tool, ProLint ecosystem variants).
While Progress doesn't offer a tool, independent developers have created recovery services and software. Progress R-Code Decompiler (Recovery Service): This is a well-known paid service that claims to recover 60% to 100% of the information from R-code. It supports versions from Progress v6 through OpenEdge v12 (32-bit and 64-bit). Automated Tools:
Initialize git in your project directory immediately: git init
Reverse engineering enterprise software carries risks. Before decompiling any .r file, ensure you have the legal right to do so.
