  Before unloading 7.6 database I would suggest reloading and packing.

 

  I'm assuming RecDate is a date field and if so the size 1 is saying only
index 1 character. 

 

   The "SIZE" normally only applies to text fields. 

 

  Since when unloading all index commands are in same area of the file
(normally towards the end). I would cut that out of the file and save it
separately.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Question about an unload

 

Tomorrow I'll be upgrading a client from 7.6 to 9.5.  I'm testing an "unload
all" on their database in preparation.  I got an error because on several
(but not all) of the "create index" commands there was something like this:
    CREATE     INDEX RecDate ON `Recpts` (`RecDate` ASC SIZE 1 )

The "size 1" (there are other sizes on other indexes) produce errors in 9.5.
Simple fix, I just erased all the sizes in my unload command.  But I'm just
curious what made those sizes go in there since I don't remember ever
specifying an index "size" at any point.  Do those sizes go back to DOS days
when someone else had originally created this database?
