I have been given an AREV 3.12 system to look at for conversion.
The Table names and Dictionaty fields have periods (.) as separators in the names.
What is the latest on converting the . to _
Is there a utility around that will do the bulk of it.

Barry,
AREV 3.12 has an upgrade option within itself to convert dots to underscores.

Barry,
There was a utility in Arev 3.12 to do the dot –] underscore conversion, if I recall. Arev v3 required this to comply with SQL standards. But this does not handle the dict values imbedded in stored proceedures or symbolic formula.
I think I used a simple search and replace tool to run thru stored proceedures etc and stop at hits so I could passover / replace as necessary.

I have code which converts everything except entry windows and their related components. I run it myself - it is not packaged to be pleasant to use, but if you are a programmer you are welcome to try it.
