TAB FIX TOOL ------------ VAGen 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0 incorrectly allow tab characters to be saved within VAGen parts. This is a problem when exporting and importing the parts. A fix is available (APAR PQ35271) which will prevent this problem. If you already have parts containing tab characters, this tool will repair those parts. The tool will fix all parts loaded in an image, by changing tab characters to spaces. Only parts with tabs in them will be modified. It is recommended that you version your classes and applications before running the tool, so you may easily see which parts have been modified, and so you'll have a baseline to return to if there are problems. To run the tool: - Download tabs.dat from ftp://ps.software.ibm.com/ps/products/visualagegen/info - The .dat file contains two versions of the HptTabFixApp application -- version 3.x and 4.0. Import and load the version associated with the version of VAGen you are using. To import the tool, from the VisualAge Organizer, select Applications->Import/Export->Import Applications. - To run the tool, type "HptTabFix fix" in the System Transcript window. Select the text and choose Edit->Execute to execute it.
