46 DataWindow .NET
DataWindow Designer uses project (.dwp) files to manage libraries. The
following sample has three libraries: lib1.pbl, lib2.pbl, and lib3.pbl. If you
delete the library listed on the applib line, lib1.pbl, from the library list, you
cannot migrate the project to the current version:
Save Format v3.0(19990112)
appname "Default";
applib "lib1.pbl";
LibList "lib1.pbl;lib2.pbl;lib3.pbl";
type "DataWindow Designer";
A library must be in the current library list for you to migrate it.
❖ To migrate libraries:
1 Select Migrate from the pop-up menu for the project in the System Tree.
The Migrate Application dialog box displays.
2 Click OK.
DataWindow Designer migrates all objects in the library to the current
version.
Exporting and importing entries
You can export DataWindow object definitions to text files. The text files
contain all the information that defines the DataWindow objects. The files are
virtually identical syntactically to the source forms that are stored in libraries
for all objects.
You may want to export object definitions in the following situations:
• You want to store the objects as text files.
• You want to move objects to another computer as text files.
Caution
The primary use of the Export feature is to export source code, not to modify
the source. Modifying source in a text file is not recommended.
Later on you can import the files back into DataWindow Designer for storage
in a library.
