Converting a PL7 application into a Control Expert application generates certain differences, which are described in the following paragraphs.

In order to avoid any conflicts of syntax in the PL7 user applications to be converted, the Control Expert syntax for extracted bits has been modified.

The PL7 syntax for the extracted bit :Xi is therefore replaced with Control Expert syntax .i.

Example: %IW12.3.1:X5 is converted into %IW12.3.1.5.

The Control Expert syntax for the extracted bit on the rank 0 object is as follows: %IW12.3.0.5.
