Usig COPY_TABLE for old AREV files. (OpenInsight Specific)

I have been accessing AREV data files with OI since OI
came out. The AREV files were "added" to OI in the Database
Manager, but the application name of the AREV files are
different then the OI application Name. This now seems to cause
a problem with DICT.TEMP_FILENAME files being created, but then not
beening deleted by the OI system, maybe since they have a different
APPNAME. Now it's hard for me to delete these DICT.TEMP_FILENAME
files too, causing problems. I want to COPY_TABLE all these old AREV
files to a new subdirectory and the OI appname. Is it best to remove
all file indexes first before doing a COPY_TABLE? Any other problems to watch out for while copying (moving) these file to a new location
and new APPNAME.
Thanks…

Later versions of ARev are smart enough to do the copy table keeping btrees and xrefs intact. It still balks with relationals. Depending on how big the file is, you might want to rebuild them anyway.
