Convert .llb from 6.0 to 8.6

[fluemle]

Hello,

I have an old program, written on LabView6.0 which I need to convert to LabView8.6 .

It works with most of the VIs, but some of them have problems.

They use subVIs from NI.vi.lib and I don't know how to convert them.

 Thanks!

Could you perhaps provide some details on the 'problems'? That means information on what functions in vi.lib are being called, what kind of errors that LabVIEW is reporting, etc. NI is pretty good about providing backwards compatibility and I have had very few problems over the years. Attaching one of the VI that you are having some difficulty with would also help.

Hey Dennis,

sorry for the incomplete informations. Meanwhile I made some further steps to solve my problems. But there is still one. As I posted, I have an old working programm from Labview6.0 and  I tried to copy the code on a new computer with labview8.6.

I was able to open some of the VIs but had problems with some others. The VIs I had problems with needed the "Generate Report Set Modified Data" VI from the "vi.lib\utility\NIReport.llb". So my first step was to copy the vi.lib from the old programm and tell the VI which needs the Generate Report Set Modified Data VI where it`s located.

With this information the original VI opened but still has some errors. There is a broken wire between and the help says that I have connected to terminals of different data types.

The original VI is "Wordfile initialisieren" and the subVI is "Generate Report Set Modified Data". I attached the two files so maybe you can help me.

I forgot something. In the error list it says subvi is not executable!

I think your problem is because the report toolkit is downlevel. You should be using the 8.6 version and not copying the old version. I don't use the toolkit and don't know what the upgrade process is but that would be the first step.

Also, isn't it illegal to post NI toolkits that you have to buy?

Unless, of course, NI has decided that it's so old, it's OK. Still, you would need their permission to post it.
