Converting to AREV32
dharmacek: I just converted one of my client ArevDOS installations to Arev32. I'm going to start a number of threads about my experience. Feel free to ask questions or post your own solutions/problems. PM: The Arev of DOS was version 3.12. It has been interoperating with OI 3.75 for years, and OI 7.3, then OI 8.0.6.

You must copy any custom MFS and User-Defined Conversion programs to OpenInsight and successfully compile them in OI.
You will not need the ArevDOS version of those programs. (I mean that Arev32 will find the OI object code. True for any program.) (Note that User-Defined Conversion programs cannot contain a dot (.) in the name of the program. [MY_DATE] is OK, [MY.DATE] won't work.) (if anyone needs a do-nothing of PX_MFS please contact me)

1) It places CTODICT.MFS on the new dictionary tables. This is not a MFS known to Arev of DOS and you can no longer use those tables in Arev of DOS. According to RevSoft this MFS provides the required underscored column names as required by OI.
2) During conversion wizard, when the Rebuild Dictionaries option fails on a Formula it places only "* Bypass Conversion error@ans = 'Arev32 Conversion Error - Can not compile'" in the Formula. The original formula that failed is nowhere to be found. I believe it should also contain the (commented out) original formula so we can repair this in Arev32. This is in the Bug Tracker as issue 1001. To be fixed in OI 9.0. (This was fixed for 8.0.7)
