Dear All: One of my clients has a 40 user Alpha Micro native system that's in need of a migration. I want to migrate to D3/W2K. I've done a few and am comfortable supporting it remotely as a consultant instead of as an employee. While I welcome the possibility of going to 'nix U2 or NT U2, I want to focus on D3/W2K. Has anyone had any experience converting from Alpha Micro to D3 or UD/UV and are there any pitfalls regarding incompatible source code. I can expect some slight differences in syntax but I'm looking to see if there's a major roadblock. I don't suspect anything beyond PQ proc but IIRC an earlier conversion from GA to AP-Pro brought with it some missing commands like SWAP and MAX. Thanks in advance. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users --- D3 does have the SWAP statement, but like several other statements you need to but a $OPTIONS EXT compiler directive in your program or it will not compile. My documentation does not mention a MAX statement. I wish you luck dealing with Raining Data. At my earliest convenience I will kick D3 and Raining Data out the back door and run everything on UniVerse. RD has raised their maintenance to 90 USD per seat and have instituted a 50% charge to get a major release (release 8.0 is due out this year). They have mostly stopped enhancing the product and to get anything fixed or added to the product you must submit a "business requirements statement" to them convincing them that it is in their business interest to provide the fix or function. That doesn't sound like a company that is very interested in keeping D3 around for the long haul.
