Chapter 19 Migrating BASIC/260 Files
Introduction
After you move files from the HP 260 to the HP 3000, change them into HP
Business BASIC/XL format. The migration aid, BBCT250.PUB.SYS, is
supplied with HP Business BASIC/XL and will change HP 260 files so you
can use them on the HP 3000. The migration aid runs on the HP 3000 and
can change five kinds of files:
* Program source code files.
* BASIC/260 formatted data files.
* Form files.
* Schema files.
* Data set files.
Enter the following MPE command to run the migration aid:
:RUN BBCT250.PUB.SYS
BBCT250.PUB.SYS is the name of the migration aid. Enter the appropriate
command at the ">" prompt for the type of file you want to migrate. The
rest of this chapter explains how to migrate specific files types. See
chapter 20, "Migrating HP 260 Databases," for information about migrating
databases. See chapter 21, "Migrating FORMS/260 Forms," for information
about forms migration.
