DataSet 1

(Scenario)

Saving

DataSet2

Q1 '10

A DataSet2 configuration table can be created from a DataSet1 definition.

Ability to load DataSet1 will persist beyond DataSet1 saving for 6 months.

Model Version Loading
-
Q1 '10
Nearly 300 versions supported including many obsolete objects and constructs. A "rosetta" version will be declared after which all compatibility will be removed except that version.
Dialog Box defined in Routine and Paint Buttons
Named Dialog Boxes defined in panel.
Q1 '10

Currently dialog boxes are defined within routine code. It is desirable for them to be defined outside of the routine and then just "called up" by name.

This is needed if routines are to be made pasteable as text.

This does create some scope issues since the scope of the dialog might differ from the scope of the routine calling it.

Panel Label List Object Labels Q1 '10 With the removal of view panels, there is no need to have a panel label list since all panels can be identified using the object-index of their owning portal.
Shared routines Messages,messages with parameters. Q1 '10

Shared routines currently allow one description of a routine to be copied to many locations automatically. In practice, the copy process (at the start of the run) is too slow and they dont save memory.

It is intended to remove them.
