Adapting MVtools to another Platform - MV Type

  1. List all the programs that are specifically for D3. They all start with 'd3' as the first two characters.
  2. Choose a two character code to represent your new system platform and make sure there are not already programs named with these characters as the first two alpha chars of the name.
  3. Make copies of the D3 specific programs using your new 2a system code. Eg If your new system code is 'MS' (my system) copy D3KEYINP to MSKEYINP.
  4. Search for all case statements re-directing flow based on the variable MVTYPE. And add another case for your new system type.
  5. Change the system properties: File 'MVOB' item 'SPEC' attr ONE to your new 2a code. Test your work.
    6. This whole process usually takes a day or two but the result will be a whole load of subroutines that will now work for your system too.
