Known problems and workarounds

Generation differences

Reminder from RPP 8.5 and still applicable:

Some differences between a same program generated from Pacbase and RPP remain unresolved.

In spite of the fact that those differences are compensated by the pattern recognition technology, the consequences are:

- The number of specific code lines is greater in RPP than in Pacbase

- A new program created and generated in RPP might be slightly different than in Pacbase

 

RPP replaces the line in difference with the line coming from Pacbase and shows the line as it is locally generated in a tooltip text. Thus:

- The source code of the program is the same in RPP & Pacbase

- The compilation of those programs gives the same executable as in Pacbase

Some differences are solved in RPP, while some others will be solved in upcoming fix packs or releases.

 

Associated level of Pacbase

It is highly recommended to use this fix pack with the corresponding level of Pacbase when working on the migration process from Pacbase to RPP:

Pacbase 3.5 Y10C
