Hi All,

I am trying to migrate my application from PB 7.0 to PB 2017. 

When I used Migration Assistant, I got the following error message :- "Obsolete SaveAsType DataWindow constant".

Could you please suggest a workaround for this error message.
 

Thanks in advance,

 

Regards

Ankush Rai

That would depend on which SaveAsType is generating the error. If you have references to more than one, you need to compare the flagged lines of code to the SaveAsType in the help file to determine which one is no longer valid.

As stated in manual: "The following SaveAsType values are considered to be obsolete and will be removed in a future release: Excel!, WK1!, WKS!, SYLK!, dBase2!, WMF!. Use Excel8!, XLSB!, or XLSX! for current versions of Microsoft Excel!, and EMF! in place of WMF!."



Obsolete values can be used for now. This is a warning that in the future they will be removed. By the way, lotus most recent release was almost 20 years ago. You should think stop using that data format. Maybe it's time to consider to move to xls or xlsx...

WKS is the spreadsheet part of Microsoft Works. Microsoft Works sales ended in 2009.

Microsoft Works should also support Excel formats. Try exporting using one of the Excel SaveAs types.
