labview backward compatibility problem / array functions differ between 6.0/5.0

[Matthias Knelangen]

Hi,

I wrote a simple program that involved a lot of array-handling with
labview 6.1.
As I wanted to share it with a colleague who's still using labview 5.1 i
installed labview 6.0 too.
First I "saved with options" version 6.0 using 6.1, then I opened the
resulting file with labview 6.0 and saved it for 5.0.

I got the following errors:
-------------
Block Diagram
Missing object.
The object Insert Into Array does not exist in this version.
Missing object.
The object Delete From Array does not exist in this version.

-------------

I don't understand, for both functions exist in version 5.0.
As I got this message repeated about 30 times, I couldn't just replace
the missing function
s by hand.

Does anybody know what the problem might be?

thanks for any help.

Similar functions exist, but I believe that it was LV6 when the array
nodes were reworked. They are more growable to allow for indexing or
replacing more than one elment at a time. They also tend to autogrow
based on dimensionality where the old ones just broke the wire until
grown by hand.

I think they are functionally equivalent, but during save for previous,
some of the operations don't have
a good equivalent and have to be put
back by hand.
