Rich, you are correct, APPEND PROCEDURES gets a feature not available.

Don't forget, a DBC is just a table, so you can open the DBC as a table, go to the third record (or whatever record is the Stored Procedure Source code) and do a MODIFY MEMO code FROM yourproc.txt, USE it, and then do a COMPILE DATABASE. I just tried this and it works just fine. It would be much simpler if they just let you do an APPEND PROCEDURE, now that it can be compiled, though.
