SirDBA maps the fields in Model 204 files and groups onto standard data types and stores the mappings in a database file. When a field is selected from the SirDBA field display, you are launched into SirPro's string search facility to hunt for procedures that reference the specified field name.
SirDBA is part of the UL/SPF family of products from Sirius Software. As with all UL/SPF products, SirDBA requires the installation of the Sirius Mods, with a version equal to or higher than the SirDBA version.
Overview
SirDBA is designed to assist in database conversions, and for conversions involving a large volume of changes to User Language code, when the changes are centered around Model 204 field names.
For Year 2000 conversion, SirDBA goes to extra lengths to determine when a field contains date data. When it does, SirDBA stores a datatype of DATETIME and a format specification of the datetime field.
Because SirDBA is an adjunct product to SirPro, programmers should familiarize themselves with the feature list in the SirPro User's Guide Using SirDBA and SirPro, a User Language development team has the tools for targeted large scale procedure updates centered around references to Model 204 fields.
