Obsolete commands

To find all the obsolete commands in your databases, you can just search for "_o_" using Find in Design in the Edit menu or the Find in design area of the tool bar. We strongly recommend that you replace any obsolete commands with new commands or functions. However, keep in mind that commands which are not indicated as "disabled" will nevertheless continue to work temporarily.

Obsolete commands in 4D v16

Previous name	New name	Comments
C_GRAPH	_o_C_GRAPH	Starting with 4D v15 R5 this command was renamed and is no longer provided in the list of 4D commands. Graph area variables are obsolete and no longer supported since 4D v14. You have to use picture variables (see GRAPH)
INTEGRATE LOG FILE	_o_INTEGRATE LOG FILE	The _o_INTEGRATE LOG FILE command is now obsolete. We recommend using INTEGRATE MIRROR LOG FILE. Unlike the _o_INTEGRATE LOG FILE command, the new INTEGRATE MIRROR LOG FILE command does not replace the current log file with the integrated one: the current log file of the database continues to be used. Accordingly, any changes made during integration are saved in the current log file.
Open external window	_o_Open external window	The _o_Open external window command does not work in 64-bit versions of 4D and 4D Server. This command will no longer be supported in future versions of the program.
