The application file may have $MENU blocks where the CHOOSE command is used to display a menu. The CHOOSE command "IN MENU.APX" is no longer supported for "PULLDOWN" menu blocks.
If the approach of the application file conversion is to run the .APP file as a command file, then the following method can be used to move the "menu list" into the CHOOSE command with the #LIST parameter.
Instead of the following:
CHOOSE PICK1 FROM MENU0000 IN Menu.APX
--
-- rest of file
--
$MENU
MENU0000
PULLDOWN | |
|Entry|
|Product Quality Plan|
|Inquiry|
|Reports|
|Maintenance|
ENDC
You would use:
CHOOSE PICK1 FROM #LIST 'Entry,Product Quality Plan,Inquiry,Reports,Maintenance' +
TITLE 'SELECT OPTION...' CAPTION 'Main Menu Options' LINES 5 +
OPTION List_Font_Color NAVY|List_Back_Color WHITE|List_Font_Size 12 +
|Title_Font_Color NAVY|Title_Back_Color LIGHT GRAY +
|Window_Back_Color LIGHT GRAY|Title_Font_Size 14
The above will display a choose pop-up window to select the desired option.
Although this will allow the application file to work, we recommend using one of the current application formats to display a Windows driven menu system.
