R-code Portability
R-code is portable between any two environments if the following are true:
NOTE: If a procedure contains no user interface code, its r-code can run across user interfaces without change. This is typical, for example, of database schema trigger procedures.- The user interface is the same — graphics mode or character mode.
- The DataServer or combination of DataServers connected during compilation is the same.
- The machine classes are compatible.
All machines that require four-byte alignment or less are compatible. Thus, r-code compiled on one of these machines (for example, a Sun SPARCstation) can run on most other machines. One of the few machines not compatible with this class is the AS/400, which requires greater than four-byte alignment.
Thus, you can use the same r-code compiled for Windows on any DataServer-compatible Windows system, and you can use the same r-code compiled in character mode on any DataServer-compatible character-mode system.
