- ACCESS routine
- The functionality of ACCESS is available through the CALL
BUILD routine. Both ACCESS and BUILD now open the Explorer window. Old programs
that use ACCESS will still work, although the TYPE and MODE parameters are
not supported from the Explorer window. Using BUILD for new programs is recommended
because it provides additional functionality.
- CALC routine
- The CALL CALC routine is not supported in Version 7.
- CARDS statement
- The DATA step statement DATALINES replaces the CARDS statement.
- CATALOG function
- The functionality of CATALOG is now available through the
CALL BUILD routine. Like CATALOG, BUILD opens the Explorer window when a catalog
is specified as the first parameter. Old programs with the CATALOG function
will still run, although the SHOWTYPE and PMENU parameters are not supported
from the Explorer window. Using BUILD for new programs is recommended because
it provides additional functionality.
- CATLIST, DIRLIST, and FILELIST, and IVARLIST functions
- Version 7 tables may contain mixed-case names. If any existing
application relies on one of these functions to return an uppercased name,
you may need to modify the application.
- CATLIST, DIRLIST, FILELIST, and LIBLIST windows
- These windows have been replaced with host selector windows
in which the AUTOCLOSE option will now be ignored.
