Preparing Files SAVE the programs into fast-save (BASFP) files. Your program must be semantically correct to migrate correctly. FOR-NEXT blocks must be properly matched, and so on. Edit your program so that lines never exceed 500 characters. HP Business BASIC/XL has a maximum line length of 500 characters. The migration aid issues a warning message when it encounters a line that exceeds 500 characters. Edit these lines before you read the file into HP Business BASIC/XL. If you will be using the SUB option of the CONVERT command, use the RENUM command with a large increment to renumber your program before using the migration aid. The increment needs to be large enough for any COM declarations.
