			==Saving And Reloading From Source==
			The programs must be saved as source. You can save them as source either by using the [[Save]] command in your current release of Business Rules, or by using the [[List]] command.

			The source files must then be loaded from source using the Load command. Errors may be generated during the LOAD file-ref SOURCE due to a few minor incompatibilities between old and new releases. See [[:Category:Error Codes]] and the error information in the help facility for details.

			==Standardized Scancodes==
			Starting with Release 3.0, Business Rules has minimized differences between keyboards by adopting a universal set of scan codes. A scan code is a two-part or four-part hexadecimal code associated with a keystroke (so called because it
			comes from scanning the keyboard). See the [[KSTAT$]] function for information about determining the operating system and Business Rules scan codes.

			==Miscellaneous Tips==
			On Unix / Linux versions, any old WBTERM.OUT files must be recompiled using the 4.0+ release of the WBTERM compiler. Some printers on Unix / Linux systems may be affected by the new EOL= parameter with display files. This parameter defines the end-of-line separator (record delimiter) for display file processing. This parameter may be set to EOL=CRLF (carriage return and line feed), EOL=LF (line feed only), or EOL=NONE.

			The default is CRLF for DOS and NetWork versions (just as in previous releases) however; the default is LF for Unix / Linux versions. This may affect Unix/Linux
			printers. If your printer requires a CR, there may be a hardware switch setting that can supply it. If this change causes you problems, please call us.

			The default printer name will be PRN:/10 instead of PRN: as in earlier releases.
			This change was made to eliminate some SUBSTITUTE problems when you try to redirect output from the default printer to another printer. For current Unix/Linux systems, some of your SUBSTITUTE specifications will have to be changed.

			Business Rules now opens serial ports to 9600 bits/second, no parity, eight data
			bits, one stop bit (an exception is that communications files default to 1200
			bits/second). Formerly, the default was 300 bits/second.
