Can I transfer the Matchcodes from the DoubleTake API or MatchUp API over to the MatchUp Object?
There are a few slight differences in the MatchcodeEditor between the older DoubleTake API / MatchUp API and the new MatchUp Object. Links to the old-style Help file and a Matchcode tutorial, and a DoubleTake 2 (GUI – old old old) import button have been removed. But the one difference which effects functionality is that MatchUp Object no longer allows a Custom Table component. Since this version works with DBMSs and OSs may not shell out to external Windows executables, so we have added the ability for users to programmatically create or edit their own matchcodes – hence they can do a Custom Table substitution programmatically. Given those slight differences, they can copy the old API matchcode file – DTake.mc (now mdMatchup.mc) into the MatchUp Object data directory and rename it mdMatchup. Not a utility, but very easy to do. But caution – VERY IMPORTANT – check the matchcodes thoroughly before using!!!!
