Tasks for converting A97 to A2K

[Clarence]

Dear all,
I am going to convert a business application which
was build on A97 to A2K. I would appreciate if you could
provide advices on the following:
1. Necessary program changes for the conversion
2. Does the conversion require large effort?
3. Will there be any A97 functions not work in A2K?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Clarence.

Have done this many times in both directions; A97 to A2K
to A02 and A02 to A2k and back to A97. The worst
experienced is a DDL reference problem that is easy to
fix.

First, clone the existing database to guard against any
disaster.

Then run the conversion wizard in A2K, following the
prompts. No large effort required. It's very fast.

All A97 fundtions will be upgraded to A2K automatically,
but you might open any form, view the visual basic code
and do a compile and save. If that gives you an error look
into the reference library under the menues, clear
anything that is marked as missing and find its
replacement lower on the list.

Re-compile, save, return to the database and ...

... happy data management!

2. Does the conversion require large effort?

You have to test everything. That will be the biggest time consumer.
