Re: CASE 6.0 and Pro-COBOL questions

1a)
Oracle does not produce any such utility, nor have I heard of any third party utility.

1b)
This without a doubt WILL NOT work. There is no way that the SQL*Forms Generator v2 (which generates SQL*Forms v3) will run against Designer/2000. Any work that you do to make it do so will be extensive, and unsupported.

Unfortunately, the only advice I can give with your current situation is to stay with CASE*Dictionary v5.0.
