The following describes how to include country/customer conversion programs in the conversion routine. The conversion handling programs are using a number of control files, which are pre-defined.
If any of these files needs to be changed, e.g. because of new files on country/customer level, this could be done by running the Work with conversion releases program, where you can add new programs, files used and parallel files.
The following files are used:
SCOCNR – Conversion releases
Used for identifying the different releases that the conversion could be used for.
The following information could be changed:
| Field | Comments |
|---|---|
| Release | Must be unique – defines the release number |
| Description | |
| Base release level | Must be unique – used for retrieving the correct release when running the conversion |
Tip: Use the Copy option if you want to create a new release based upon an old already existing.
SCOCNP – Conversion programs
Used for identifying the different conversion programs.
The following information could be changed:
| Field | Values | Comments |
|---|---|---|

| Sequence number | Must be unique – defines in which order the conversion program will be run in relation to other programs. | |

| Compile | YES, NO | If YES, then the program will automatically be recompiled before the conversion starts. |

Caution: A conversion program must not convert more than 5 files if it should be included in the conversion routine.
