BASIC.CONVERSION Account

BASIC.CONVERSION contains files which maintain a record of the DataBasic conversion process, executed during a SYS-UPDATE from pre-4.x Reality or Reality 7.0, or from a machine of a different byte ordering.

The BASIC-CONVERSION account can be saved and then deleted, once the SYS-UPDATE has been shown to have correctly converted the BASIC object code.

The BASIC.CONVERSION account contains three files.

CONVERTER.LOG
contains a log of items for each BASIC program in POINTER-FILE, needing conversion, with a code in attribute 3 indicating the result of the conversion.

PRIOR.PF contains a copy of each POINTER-FILE item prior to conversion.

PRIOR.OBJ Contains a copy of each $item prior to conversion, but with the same item id as the POINTER-FILE item.
