7.2 Checking the Old Database
Codeunit 104015 checks that every date, text, code and decimal value in the
database can be stored in a SQL Server database. It also checks that nonzero
decimal values will not be rounded to zero when they are stored in the SQL Server
database. A progress indicator will help you monitor this process. This involves the
program reading most of the records in the database and may therefore take some
time.
If any values need to be changed, the program shows a list of the incorrect values
and the suggested new values in the Incorrect Data Values window:
You can modify these suggestions if you want. When you close the window, a
message will appear asking you whether or not you want to implement the
changes. If you click Yes, the program will implement the changes. The program
will read and modify a small number of records in the database during this step.
Codeunit 104015 also checks the code fields in your data. If your code fields
contain numeric values of varying lengths, it will list them for you. If you sort by
these fields the resulting sorting will be incorrect. Furthermore, any filters using
these fields and containing numeric ranges will give unexpected results. One way
of overcoming this sorting problem is to represent these code fields as integers.
This can be done if the code fields only contain numbers and these numbers do not
start with zeros.
A progress indicator will help you monitor the codeunit 104015, Field Check, while it
is being run. This step involves the program reading most of the records in the
database and may therefore take some time. If there are any inconsistencies, they will
be listed in the form 104013, Code Field Information. To open this form:
· In the Object Designer, run form 104013, Code Field Information.
