Getting ready to move into Clarion 7.1?  Then this webinar is for you!  With many developers switching to 64 bit Windows machines, and our trust Clarion 6 no longer able to run in that environment without using a virtual machine, the time is right to move your C6 apps into the new C7.1 IDE!  JP Gutsatz takes you step by step through moving your C6 app into C7, then John Hickey demonstrates his recent experiences with the new C7.1.  Another great webinar (especially the JP part!).

Our three hour SQL Super Panel is not to be missed, with Dave Harms, David Swindon, Jim Morgan, Joe Tailleur, and Shawn Mason!  A great panel discusses SQL as it relates to Clarion, sharing their ideas and experiences.  Teriffic!

There was a discussion about the use of NOCASE.  Jim Morgan clarifies:

"The use of NOCASE can have performance consequences. It can force a table scan to convert the key elements to the same
case. The panel discussion on the attribute was reversed and the audience comment is correct. In the dictionary UI,
check the "Case Sensitive" key attribute checkbox. This will omit the NOCASE attribute."
