"GoodByeProc" Proc Translation (Into Pick Basic - PROC.TO.BP program)
- Translates conventional PROCs (PQ, not PQX or PQN) into working Pick Basic.
- Roughly 80-95% of your Procs will compile upon translation, depending on the number of Proc errors such as duplicated labels, etc.
- GUI editing is automatically installed in these, including some immediate installation of backtabbing.
- MS Office downloading, printer, and screen destinations are all automatically installed when SORT or LIST Access report commands destined for the printer are detected by the PROC.TO.BP translator, via the Report Writer RRM program.
- It handles both normal and cascading selects, stacked data, and subroutines.
- Proc commands such as A, IP, IF, IH, T, O, RI, RO, PW, PH, PP, STON (ST ON), STOFF (ST OFF), +, -, C, and others are supported.
- It translates common user exits such as U01AD and U31AD. Other user exits will be supported upon request and our willingness to do so, based on the need and the difficulty of the development of such support.
- PROCREAD and PROCWRITE, while not directly translated, can be easily implemented.
- Statements which cannot be translated are marked in the target source code, which is generated anyway, so that small modifications can be made and the entire thing will work.
- PROCCONV and PROCCOMP provide indispensible routines for cursor- and mouse-controlled editing of PROC inputs and date comparisons, respectively, when conversion of PROCs to Basic is undesirable.
- Input and statement execution auditing become instantly available upon conversion.
- Input can be validated by numeric, date, and file translation tests by the addition of simple parameter at the input statement. When file translation tests are used, scrolling lookups of the file are instantly available without any other coding.
- Upper to lower and lower to upper case conversions can be easily performed by the addition of a simple parameter at the input statement.
- Available In Smart User Interface only
