RE: [U2] Utilities for Pick-type to UniData-type (ODBC) Dictionary 'Conversions'
There was a utility package that was used by UniData services - it used various Unix tools to convert the Dictionaries (you needed a full compiler). Worth an ask... UCONV3 I think. It converted *accounts* save in old format BTW - not just Dictionaries. To be honest - when I've done Dictionary conversions (many) for ODBC even just in UniData - I find so many just-plain-wrong dictionaries that don't reflect the data as it is I have to do the lot manually in any case. Check S really is S, MV really is MV, SV really is SV, All MV and SV have PHRASES (etc, etc).

For example, changing Tfilename;X;n;m functions to TRANS and like conversions. I am in the process of opening up hundreds of files to ODBC; before reinventing the wheel, just checking to see if the wheel has already been made. I did not see such a utility on pickwiki.

RE: [U2] Utilities for Pick-type to UniData-type (ODBC) Dictionary 'Conversions'
When we first converted from Pick to Unidata, Unidata had a conversion account that you used to restore the account into and then it converted it. This was on Aix - I haven't seen anything on like it on Windows. It was also back when Unidata was Unidata (not IBM or Informix). IBM may be able to dredge up something???
