Use the import facilities in the Element and Table Definition Modules to import the data definitions. If your program includes cross-references, make sure you import all the data definitions required before importing the program definition. Conditional validations, computations, user functions, and date validations are not imported from version 1.3x programs. These must be re-created in version 2.x form. Remember to import any pop-up screens as well as the main program definitions. 0c01500c01104000000000000000000000000032 0e0f33053dd04000000000000000000000000033 SHELL Shell creates a window on the operating system. 0f0f28053dd04000000000000000000000000034 EXIT Exit returns to the Project Manager. 032f22083dd04000000000000000000000000035 DESIGN SUB-MENU Use the arrow keys and <Enter> to indicate whether you will design the report or the screen that introduces it. 032f20083dd04000000000000000000000000036 022f220d3dd04000000000000000000000000037 POSITIONING A POPUP Use the arrow keys to position the popup on your main screen.
