Converting v7x .sfd's to v8?

[Bob Deskin]

QUIZ and QTP will read old format subfiles. By default, they write out 
subfiles in the current/default format. Use SUBFORMAT or the FORMAT option 
to force a non-default format.

So if you run QTP in version 8.40E, all you should need is

access *format_7
subfile format_8 keep include format_7

Hi Richard:
 
   I think the following will work:-
 
   QTP SUBFORMAT=7
   ACCESS *SUBFILE_7
   SUBFILE SUBFILE_8 FORMAT 8 KEEP INC SUBFILE_7
   GO
 
You will probably want to create a DCL script to perform the above
for each of your subfiles.
