I think kumaran sell a conversion tool, but I
have not used it.
At the time, I found the Oracle tool
(iac? iac30??) worked OK.
It did not re-write much code, but it got the application working.
From memory, the biggest problem after conversion was trigger steps with multiple statements in them.
ie nxtblk;exeqry;
In v2.3, if nxtblk failed, exeqry would not execute. In the converted form,
it would.
-So your exeqry would fire in the wrong block!
I'm afraid this is all from memory. Its at least 5 years since I did this.
Feel free to try jogging my memory some more tho! Received on Sat Feb 20 1999 - 13:46:54 CET
