I'm new to PH and AXIANT as well.But I have a person with PH knowledge with me.
The application that I am migrating is a complete application running
on MPEIX. I'm not the one who wrote it and the customer (our sister
concern) has none of the programmers who wrote it. I am just
migrating it with the Axiant Migration tool which is doing much of the
work, except for such things as OCCURS fields in a table, STRUCTURES
and FIND procedures as such.
I'm not writing any fresh code. Do you mean I have to change all these
FIND procedures? In that case, what change should I probably make to
the code file that I have attached on the other thread ? Can u throw
some more light on what you mean by 'construct find procedure
indirectly'?
Thanks & Regards,
SYED.

</I>><I> It's always best practice to contruct your find procedure indirectly if
</I>><I> possible. Since you are rather new to PH you might be tempted to dive into
</I>><I> those procedures and forget about the 4GL magic that PH gives you. Access
</I>><I> statements will dictate your code results. If you are going down the road
