Comsoft7 Legacy to ABC Conversion Process

 

BoTXA Legacy to ABC Conversion Service                           How To Do  and What You Get

C55h - C8x   Clarion Template chain to ABC template chain.


BoTXA makes these changes to the Legacy TXA :

 1.) Changes Legacy to OOP Templates and prompts
 2.) Changes Procedure returns, etc.
 3.) Changes Toolbars to ABC
 4.) Adds Progress Windows and local variable to Processes and Reports
 5.) Adds missing Detail Use Labels in Reports.
 6.) Fixes the Resizer problems.
 7.) Removes unneeded local variables.
 8.) Changes file syntax to FileManager ABC (OPEN(FILE) >> Access:FILE.Open) in embeds.
 9.) Declares all procedures Globally to mimic Legacy, see How to Do button for next page.
10.) Optional- Move Legacy embeds code to recommended ABC replacement embeds.
 

File syntax Changes: Developer needs to provide a list of ASCII, BASIC, DOS, and MEMORY files to ignore. The Conversion File list is built from within the TXA, and has no knowledge of the dictionary, File drivers, Fields, or relationships.  Free Utility to construct list on next page.

BoTXA does not choke on global templates calling procedures.
BoTXA does not require removing and adding back Well written 3rdParty templates such as CapeSoft, Comsoft7, IceTips.

CAVEAT: 3rdParty Templates --- Don't blame the TXA or BoTXA
Your mileage on 3rdParty products will vary greatly.
Well written ones make the conversion seamlessly.

I am adding rules for the 3rdParty products as they are called to my attention.

The TXA only stores the template name, prompts, and developer embedded code in the template embeds. If the template names or embed names are changed in the 3rdParty template between Legacy and ABC, or they have separate chains for ABC and Legacy, then there are likely to be some problems.
