Re: Converting from Easy Language v.2000i to v.8.3

Thanks Bob,

My friend and I are going to be doing more of passing TS2000i code to TS 8 than the reverse.

So if I have TS2000i code that looks like this:
Buy("BuySig2") unitsToBuy Contracts At buyStop Limit;
ExitLong("XL-Sig2") From Entry("BuySig2") unitsToSell Contracts At exitLongStop Limit;

it will get converted properly? Personally I'd rather do the changes myself...

So these are the only changes? Or are there others that will be hidden gotchas? Anything else I should look out for?

TS2000i      TS8.3

Buy           Buy
Sell       SellShort
ExitLong      Sell
ExitShort  BuyToCover


Thanks much.  I appreciate the advice.

Chris

TS2000i program archives will be automatically converted to TS8.3 when you import them.

Converting the other way is much harder since the language has been expanded to cover all the new feature. If you can get the T8.3 program in text form, try pasting it into the TS2000i editor and try to verify it. That should point out the obvious problems.

The main think you need to worry about is the Orders:
TS2000i      TS8.3

Buy           Buy
Sell       SellShort
ExitLong      Sell
ExitShort  BuyToCover
