The f5upg Utility" The screen you are converting has (for obscure reasons) differentdimensionality between the menu fields and their associated control fields.For example, there is a single array for a set of menu description fields, buteach control field is a single field.Reasons not to use the -d command line flag:" All reasons not to use -c apply also to -d." You probably do not want to use -d independently of -c because you willlose information." Your application uses C language or JPL routines to inspect the value of acontrol field. (If your application inspects the value of the actual menufield, there is not a problem.)" Your application makes use of field numbers to set the values of orotherwise access fields on the screen. All fields following the deletedcontrol field would be re-numbered on the converted screen, leading toerroneous field processing.Conversion of Keyset DesignationsIn JAM/Pi, the designation of a keyset was reinterpreted as designating a menu script.Since f5upg has no way of knowing whether a given screen was designed for useunder JAM/Pi or not, use the -m option to move the designation of a keyset to the menuscript property.Protected Field Heuristicsf5upg converts any data entry fields that are protected from both data entry andtabbing into to Dynamic Label Widgets. In addition, if the field is marked asnon-display, it is hidden. This heuristic is performed by default because it is assumedthat the vast majority of screens would be best converted in this way.4-20 Upgrading to JAM 7 from JAM 5
