%fm2Class code for converting Fileman to Cache' SQL classes

Question

Question

Michoel Reach · Jul 27, 2023

The documentation https://docs.intersystems.com/ens201817/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?... says "You can also obtain this routine [%fm2class] as an XML file and install it in Caché or Ensemble version 5.0.* or higher."

How do I get that XML file?

If it's already part of Cache 18.1, you could also just tell me how to access it.

Thanks!

Product version: Caché 2018.1

$ZV: Cache for Windows (x86-64) 2018.1.4 (Build 505_1_20258U) Thu Sep 10 2020 10:22:22 EDT

I think you'll need to open a WRC for that.

You can call %fm2class using %SYSTEM.OBJ.FM2Class class.

To obtain the XML file open %fm2class routine and export it using Studio.

All I see is .inc there in %SYS. How do I find or export the source code?

When I try to Go to source code in the .inc file (CTR-SHIFT-G), it says, '...%SYS/%fm2class" does not exist on the server'

Thanks!

Michoel, it's in %SYSTEM.OBJ, not %SYS.

I see that, but it isn't the actual code, just pointers to tags like ConvertFiles^%fm2class, which are not available.

Go to routines and search for *%fm2class* - you should be able to export 5 items available there.

Alternatively, request WRC to provide you an xml file.

Thank you, that works. Just .obj files, though. Since Intersystems has told us a few months ago that they no longer plan to update the code, is it possible that they wouldn't mind making the .int routines available?

Thanks!
