Starting Conversion

Click the OK button to start converting the already prepared application.

XPG File

An XPG file containing all user corrections is saved during conversion.

  • In case of PL7 conversion an XPG file is saved to a user-related directory:

    My Documents\PL7 Converter\<app name>\<app name.xpg>

    This directory is different from the directory where the input file has been taken from. This allows to read also from network directories with write-protection.

  • In case of Concept and LL984 conversion an XPG file is saved to the same directory as where the source file is located.

NOTE: XPG format is used as output file format because it contains programs only, but no configuration.

Automatic Import

The import of the converted application into the opened application is automatically launched to free you from an otherwise additional operation step.

Report File

A report of conversion that gives the list of new mapping, warnings and what is not converted, accompanies the XPG output file in the same user-related directory.

Application Build

To be able to build the application in Control Expert correct the I/O mapping completely and remove all other errors displayed during analysis of the application.
