title: Which tool of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge can I use for testing ABL queries?
body: <p>I've just written following erroneous ABL query:</p>
  <pre><code>FOR EACH T1 (WHERE T1.some-date = ' ')  AND 
              (integer(T1.num1) &gt;= 100) AND 
              (integer(T1.num1) &lt;= 200) AND 
              (T1.some-other-date = 01/12/2021) AND 
              (T2.Name = itsme), 
      EACH T2 WHERE T2.num2 = T1.num2 
      BY T1.num1
  </code></pre>
  <p>As you can see, this is wrong because I've put the first bracket in front of &quot;WHERE&quot; instead of behind it. In top of that, my name &quot;itsme&quot;, is not put between quotes, so the ABL query will never work.</p>
  <p>I've been looking in my development environment (&quot;Tools&quot; menu), but I couldn't find an ABL query tester. I've also checked the directory &quot;C:\Progressx86\OpenEdge\bin&quot;, but being a newbie I didn't find anything.</p>
  <p>I have downloaded the &quot;DataDigger&quot; application, which contains a so-called &quot;MCF Query Tester&quot;, but this only works on single table and only checks criteria, not entire ABL queries.</p>
  <p>Does anybody know where I can find an ABL query tester, first for syntax checking (the bracket in front of the &quot;WHERE&quot;) and (if possible) for data testing (01/12/2021, is that January 12th or December 1st?)?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance<br />
