Appendix E: Obsolete commands  


 

 

Several commands and functions found in previous versions of 4D Write have been replaced starting in version 6.5 with new routines that are more powerful and that make use of the new functionalities of the plug-in. In order to ensure the compatibility of previous applications and to permit developers to progressively update their code, these obsolete commands have been kept temporarily (prefixed by the letter 'O'). However, their use in new developments is not recommended.

Beginning with version 11 of 4D Write, these commands will no longer appear in the lists of plug-in commands. Their maintenance will no longer be ensured in future versions. From now on, it is strongly recommended to systematically replace these commands in your code with the new commands or to use alternative functions.

The table below lists the obsolete commands and indicates the alternative provided in the current version of 4D Write.
