For A/S types, an old trick is to put a mask in both the
conversion and the correlative:
007 MCT
008 MCT
So the query WITH FOO="aBc" will match any stored data and even
output as "Abc".

Tony,
I don't mind case in-sensitivity in Basic, it actually can make code
more readable, but case-insensitive data can be a real pain.

Ed, Unidata has always supported A-types and still does, so no
conversion to I-types is necessary.
I am pretty sure S-types also work - it has been a while, though :-) .
AFAIK UD can be run in case insensitive mode as well.

I'm guessing that you are converting from d3 to unidata because you are most
familiar with unidata? (and less so with d3). Or is there some other benefit of
moving the application to unidata specifically? If you aren't tied to unidata,
consider Intersystems Cache. D3 migrations to Cache go prett
the code is that you will be migrating.

Hi Symeon -- For what it is worth, in case it is helpful...
I did not do a conversion but did do interviews, reading, and tests of a D3
app a while back, recommending the site moved, they would be well-served to
choose UniVerse over UniData, although it was still definitely feasible with
UniData.

It depends on how old the software is.
As long as you run UD in Pick flavour and you have the source code Basic
code shouldn't be much of a problem.
If it compiles it will most likely work the same.
And if the dictionaries use A and F correlatives they should be fine too.

The guy i work with says it is a couple of hours work - I am not so sure
