Quick Start to Migration

Chapter I – Text to text conversion

Section 2 – Faster Migration

Well …

Forget about all those mysterious DOS / console / command modes, batch processing, etc.

If you have tongs, don’t burn your hand!

Yes we have; so let’s use it:

Step : 1

Begin with making / assigning  a folder for your works; FE : C:\MyWorks

Note : Working in a separate and clean folder is important.

Step : 2

Build a “Harbour Project”  file : say MyTest01.hbp; and put a line into it :

My1stProg.prg

Step : 3

Build a a program  file : say My1stProg.prg ; and write your very first program:

REQUEST HB_GT_WIN_DEFAULT

PROCEDURE Main

   SETMODE( 25, 80 )

   CLIENTE = SPACE( 15 )

   @ 10, 15 SAY "Customer : " GET CLIENTE

   READ

   @ 12, 0

   ? CLIENTE

   WAIT

RETURN

Step : 4

Open your .hbp file with HMG-IDE and press “Run” button.

That’s all !

Any other problem / question ?

Happy HMG’ing 😀
