filename

The name of a file that contains OpenEdge keywords to disable. Each keyword must use a single line in the file. If OpenEdge encounters a word that is not an OpenEdge keyword, it returns a warning message but continues processing the file. OpenEdge uses the PROPATH variable to locate filename. If it cannot find filename, it displays an error message and does not start OpenEdge.

Do not use keywords in procedures as object names (tables, fields, frames, variables, streams, and so on). If necessary, disable new keywords (and the features they implement) until they can be removed from the application.

The directory where OpenEdge is installed contains the following keyword files:

newkywd, which lists all keywords that are new in the most recent release of OpenEdge.
newkw810, which you should use instead of newkywd, if you are converting from Progress Version 8 to OpenEdge Release 10.
newkw710, which you should use instead of newkywd, if you are converting from Progress Version 7 to OpenEdge Release 10.
newkw610, which you should use instead of newkywd, if you are converting from Progress Version 6 to OpenEdge Release 10.
newkw79, which you should use instead of newkywd, if you are converting from Progress Version 7 to Progress Version 9.
newkw69, which you should use instead of newkywd, if you converting from Progress Version 6 to Progress Version 9.
