The script -cannot know, which procedures, statements have been executed before and -opened indices.... So * XB2CPP(2,2,ZP[2,1]) will inform the script about -an open database alias ZP in workarea 2 which is currently selected and -has two open indices where the first one is the active one.</P> -<H2>Hints</H2> - -<OL> -<LI>Always give an ALIAS in USE-Statements this is needed for generation -of the Database Classnames</LI> -<LI>Give the above described additional infos where necessary.</LI> -<LI>Use ALIASes in Expressions with database fields, this helps the script -in knowing where database references are.</LI> -<LI>Replace the XXX in PutXXXField or GetXXXField manually the script is -not able to determine variable or field types. The code for getting a Textfield -(GetField) must also be corrected. Xbase DBMS Syntax requires the buffer -as second parameter, the string will not be returned ! You may use a C++ -String wrapper for this job.</LI> -<LI>PROCEDURES that will operate on two different databases where some statements -are used for both cannot be converted The script needs to know everytime -on which database the statements are operating. Either duplicate such procedures, -(one for each database), or write a generic C++ routine with pointers to -databases.</LI> -<LI>Don't assume any compilable or even working C++ source code as output. -The ambigous DBASE language, which lacks type and variable definitions -is one reason for this. This script only will help you for about 10-30% -of the conversion.
