RE: [magicu-l] RM Converter?

I seem to have the same results. The log seems to be totally random,
listing new unneeded handlers for controls that don't exist in the wrong
task and program.

As an example:

12.1.2.1.1 Calculate



New Handler created: Control Verification on G_DDProgNumber



That is a batch task with no controls at all, and has no Verify
operations

That Control name is not used at all in the first 160 programs that I
can see with the demo license.



When I found a task that did originally have RM Compatible operations,
the converted task was simply missing them. There was nothing in the log
that was even close to what should have happened. I was by no means
expecting this to be perfect, especially the first release, but this
seems utterly pointless.

Subject: [magicu-l] RM Converter?



I have just upgraded to uniPaaS 1.5, which includes the RM converter,
but I can't get it to work. I've got a project I converted from 8.3.
When I try to run the RM converter on it, there are two problems.
First, the log shows the wrong task names when you view the details.
Second, and much worse, is that it lost almost all of my code! The log
shows a bunch of programs where logic was supposedly moved to Control
Verification events, but when I look at the programs all of the logic
that was in the RM before the conversion and should have been moved to
those events is simply gone! Most of it isn't even tricky logic, just
verifying that the user entered data in fields.

Has anyone else tried the RM converter successfully? Anyone
experienced this sort of problem? I really don't want to manually
remove the RM from all of the programs in my 1000 program project...

Andy

Andy, When I converted to v10.x, there was no RM converter. I found that there were a reasonable number of changes to each program anyway, so I have simply...

Andy, I've heard of two sites where the converter converted 90% of the code succesfully! Greets, Ramon de Wit Mage – Magic Engineering Postbus 36170 1020 MD...

I think I'm leaning the same way at this point. Based on what I've seen so far, I don't trust the converter. Luckily it was a major screw-up, so it was easy...

I've noticed when taking a quick look at it that you can range the program numbers it acts on... so you could do one program at a time. If that is true I may...

You can specify a range. Also, when you run it you can either overwrite your project or create a new project. Be sure to read the manual, it tells how the...

I have re-run it with the "create control names" option set, and it now at least creates some code. The log is still garbage, saying (incorrectly) that it has...
