Hi


We are currently upgrading from unidata 4.1 to 6.1.

Is it necessary to recompile our current unibasic programs?

Many Thanks
Gary

PS. There is a lot more UniData and UniVerse specific knowledge available
on the U2 Users list (http://listserver.u2ug.org)

you should check whether there have been any improvements in compiler
optimization between versions

if that is so you should recompile and your system may run faster

Excellent advice.

I would always recompile everything immediately. If you're going
to have problems with the compiler, better to find out sooner than
later.

The compiler is much nicer in the new release; for example it will
issue warnings that can help you debug your code.

no but the compiler in v6.1 is a lot better

No, you don't have to. Yes, you should, and not
just because the compiler is enhanced.

Murphy's Law tells us:
1) you will be recompiling, ...and either...
2a) it won't compile ...or...
2b) it will compile, but run differently.
This is the Science.

The Art: How do address this eventuality?
My take is: fix it, and fix it now. Another
theory is: don't fix what's not broke, because
it could run forever without fixing.

I'd be interested to hear what the OP did.
