This chapter lists the considerations for migrating from CSP/AD 3.3 programmable workstation feature to VisualAge Generator Developer.
VisualAge Generator can coexist on the same system as CSP/AD 3.3 Programmable Workstation Feature; you can run both products concurrently. Refer to the documentation for more information on startup parameters.
VisualAge Generator can access CSP/AD 3.3 Programmable Workstation Feature MSLs in read-only mode. If a CSP/AD 3.3 MSL is used in VisualAge Generator, MSL members are converted to VisualAge Generator format as they are accessed. If a converted member is modified, the member is stored in the read/write MSL in VisualAge Generator format. If a converted member is not modified, the conversion to VisualAge Generator format is temporary. CSP/AD 3.3 Programmable Workstation Feature cannot access VisualAge Generator MSLs.
Note: | It is recommended that you convert all CSP/AD Programmable Workstation Feature V3.3 MSL members that you want to use in VisualAge Generator by exporting and importing the entire MSL or by using the convert MSL utility. Otherwise, a reference to a member causes a member conversion. This can affect performance. |
See the following for considerations that might apply to development and generation:
CSP/AD 3.3 Programmable Workstation Feature batch command files are compatible with VisualAge Generator except for concatenated MSLs. For more information on specifications for concatenated MSLs, refer to the VisualAge Generator Commands and Utilities Reference.
In CSP/AD 3.3, the syntax for the NLS parameter was a 1-character NLS code. In VisualAge Generator, the syntax for the NLS parameter has changed to a 3-character NLS code.
NLS language codes changed as shown in the following table:
