We have some OSCRIPT modules in our LL 9.7.1 installation. Can they be imported into CS 16.2.x without using CSIDE?
Many modules written in 971 may I say 'May' have deprecated OT Objects. When we did a port 971 to 10.5 which was a 32 bit to 64 bit way almost about 25 out of our 35 modules could be repurposed into 10.5 code structures without much trouble. The others we converted many times by looking at builder cutting pasting etc. Many times it even gave us a chance to refactor code.
For the simplest of modules.
its INI file should be corrected to a 16 equivalent by looking at a 16 module, its dependencies set right again.
I feel I would be doing a disservice by suggesting you could run them straight, the 16 compilation and new code should be adopted IMO which would require you to import the 971 modules by some methods I hinted and making sure it compiles.

CSIDE is a development enviornment. I say that because you can install modules without ever using CSIDE. As Appu said you will have to update the dependencies in your module's INI and then you can try to install it. If installation fails you will more than likely see an error about the CONFIGURE request handler, if you do check the thread logs for a hint at what may have gone wrong. Then of course, just because it installs does not mean it works as expected. As I am sure you know there have been many changes between 9.7.1 and 16.2.X.
Cheers...
Thanks to both of you for the information!
