EASY BASE V10 IS NOW INSTALLED
══════════════════════════════
Applications written in previous versions of Easy Base can be
copied directly to a sub directory of Easy Base V10. However,
the .PPR files created by V9 are not compatible with V10 and
must be erased before the application is used. You can erase all
.PPR files by selecting and exiting from Relationships in the
application directory.
The System values Current Record, Total Records and Total Copies
no longer exist. If any of your procedures reference these values
they must be changed. The values are now available as pseudo fields
Form.Record Number, Form.Total Records and Form.Total Copies.
A forms sequence number is now available as Form.sequence and there
are new commands: Reset Sequence, Beep, Pack and Recall input Screen.
The following features have been added or changed and may be
incorrectly described in the printed documentation.
1. Batch Starting.
To start Easy Base in directory Accounts as terminal one with the
password "Fred" you can either:
SET EBT=1
SET EBD=ACCOUNTS
SET EBP=FRED
As environment variables in your autoexec.bat file or start Easy
Base with the command line:
EB T=1 D=ACCOUNTS P=FRED
The terminal number parameter is only applicable to multi user
versions.
2. Data Import can now be made available on user menus.
3. New Data Browse menu item allows browse and search facilities
in the data entry screen with no option to add, delete or modify
records.
4. Install Printer, Set Paper, Screen colours and options have been
combined under a single "Configuration" item.
5. New printer command "Landscape" adds landscape printing for HP
printers.
Press Esc to continue.
