The OpenEdge Hive

With the advent of the INT64 datatype, there can be the desire to change the datatype of an existing database column of type integer to type INT64. When this is done, it is desirable to examine the code where this column is referenced to see if there are local variables which also need to be changed.

This report starts with a designated database column and finds all of the references in code where that column is used.

The ABL code and a sample report are provided. The IntRefs_James sample is from James Palmer examining the proposed change of their customer number to INT64.
