| What to do | Why Do it |
| Run the Omnis Procedure Checker. | The PC might reveal a number of errors/warnings |
| Search for #??? | #??? usually means a reference to a non-existent field. |
| Search for #EF, #EFLD, #EM, #EN, #ER. | Studio doesn't use these references, there are dot notation for them. |
| Search for "Prompt for report" and "Prompt for search". | These commands are not supported in Studio. You will need to replace these commands with appropriate dialogs to let them select the report or search from a list, or gather parameters which would be used to determine which report or search to use. |
| Make sure all of the file formats which contain data are set to a default mode of "Read-only." | These files should only be set to "Read/write" when inserting, editing, or deleting a record in the particular file(s), then set back to "Read-only". |
| Look at format names to check for improper characters, including spaces. | Format names should only contain alphanumeric characters and the underscore "_" character. Just change the name in the browser, making sure the checkbox for "Perform search and replace" is checked. |
