The W file extension is associated with Progress OpenEdge Architect, which is a development environment used to create, understand and develop dynamic client/server applications. It allows the developer to rapidly move from concept to implementation, bringing remarkable ease and efficiency to the development process.
The Types and Characteristics of the File
The W file sometimes referred to as a “Write Code File” is classified as a B2B (Business/Business) type file that contains source code written in the 4GL language. It is also consider a text document that can be opened with a basic text editor like Notepad and edited by the user. It may be used to create a stored procedure or trigger, which is an event that must occur before or after data manipulation language (DML) statements are executed. Other similar file extensions used in development with Progress OpenEdge Architect may include P, CLS, and I.
Compatibility of the File
W files are created in conjunction with Progress OpenEdge Architect, but usually shared among many operating systems, including Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux distributions. The data is stored in ASCII format by default and can be registered as a type to allow correct mapping with certain programs that support this file type. It can also be integrated into an administrative package, administered through an object-oriented database engine, and distributed over multiple platforms.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .W) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .W extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .W file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .W extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .W extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .W file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .W file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .W file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .W file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .W file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
