If you leave the size of the integer the same then you are OK. You will want
to over time, convert the Image DB reals over to native IEEE reals instead
of the compatability HP reals. And if you do not have too much code this can
be accomplished through compiler options a dataset at a time. But my person
opinion is this might lead to errors if the code and DB are not carefully in
sync as to which real is being used. Image handles both types with a
differing designation.

Hello Listers,

<snip>
But one more question remains : as integer variables and data have to have
their type changed, are the corresponding Image data types to be modified
too? In other words, can the migration be performed progressively (OK,
libraries, SL and so will be first converted all right)?<snip>
