Hello All,

I am in the process of doing some work to upgrade our Glovia install from 7.1 SP9 to SP13 (which I believe is the most current). Unfortunately we have many functions which were customized for us and the documentation is seriously lacking in some areas.

Thank goodness for CCT. Using CCT I was able to get a good idea of the changes between our production set and the base line Glovia install (I had to do some other fairly interesting things to get the list of functions to feed to CCT that I would be willing to share if anyone cared). The issue is that when I ran CCT on the 87 functions which were regular Glovia functions (not C_), CCT had problems generating the report (it only did the first two functions in the Queue). I thought "No Problem-- I will just create myself a report that looks at the CCT Files and forgo the issues with the CCT report all together." No dice, the CCT files appear to not be regular SL or even P4 files, therefore I was unable to access them using any function I would have written (shame since I would have been able to push the data to Oracle and maybe write a better report using Crystal or something else). I had thought about performing an alias to open the files, but if I am not mistaken, I would still need a file with the same definition as the CCT files, and unfortunately I am unable to find the file definition for these at all.

Trying to look at the CCT source code was a no-go. Also trying to figure out a way to call any of the CCT functions from one of my functions was equally not going to happen (that way I could have batched the creation of 87 different Comparisons, and batched the report creation). I have gotten through the 41 that I think are critical, but these things would be good to be able to do in the future.

SO HERE'S MY QUESTION.

1. How can I get access to the CCT files from either a SuperLayer or Pro-IV function so that I can copy my comparison results from the Pro-ISAM files into Oracle so that I can perform better reports on the data?

2. If there is no way to do 1, is there a way that I can call some of the CCT functions, particularly those that actually do the comparison and the report writing from a SuperLayer or Pro-IV function. This way, even though I would not be able to do the reporting myself, I could at least cut down on the repetitive key-stroking I seem to be doing too much of.


Any help or light anyone can shed on this would be greatly GREATLY appreciated. I also posted this message to the IGUG forum.


Thank You Kindly,
