Hi Mecki, One think that I always do with BDT is right-click on the program, select refresh, then open the program. That seems to be the only way to make sure I have the current version.
Currently, BDT is sort of working with PRC but it isn't honoring "file ownership" so I'm unable to let the programmers use BDT. You do need to get some programs from Susan for things to work as I have it now. I'm told the latest version of PRC supports BDT. We are currently testing the new version of PRC but I haven't had an opportunity to try BDT on this version.. As far as false errors, the latest version of BDT is greatly improved. However, I have noticed couple of false errors: 1) if the numeric subroutine label does not have a ":" BDT doesn't recognize the label (like 99*). 2) LOCATE(J,ORIG.PH,2;XXXPOS) THEN FOUND=1 ELSE FOUND=0 , BDT will report that XXXPOS was never assigned a value. There are other instances of this type of problem. One thing I wish I could do is edit records in hashed files, but I don't see how to accomplish this.

The best one is XAdmin and I use it a lot these days. IMHO the interface is a bit crude and clunky, but I guess that's Eclipse and you can't do much about that. The BDT is not of much use since I need to make tweaks of the program using AE (even if it only to make PRC work) but when I then open it again in BDT it reverts to the old version. Looks like it keeps that in memory on my PC so any changes made on the server are lost. Looks nice and shiny but the syntax check isn't really working either. 99% of the errors shown turn out to be no errors at all. The latest one I tried is the Metadata Manager. It installed fine and I can connect to the server and the database no problem. I can see the files and the dictionaries and can even change data on the server but that's it. The metadata tools I want to use are all greyed out, so what am I doing wrong? As stated in the Help I ran MIGRATE.SQL on the server but all I achieved is that I now cannot change anything using the old Avante Batch Schema Generation process. It goes through the motions but just hangs up at the end now. So at the end I am not overly impressed. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
