Xuedong,

I know of no direct DM(EDD) to EDM conversion. There is some work going on for a MEDM(or DM2K) to EDM conversion.

However, if you create a report from EDD, you get a .ADL file. If you load that .ADL file into MEDM (or DM2K), many items actually are recognized. The colors are wrong, but simple comparison of native MEDM to the EDD .ADL file show you how to fix them. There may even be a passable DM to MEDM converter which does more.

So if you can get from DM to MEDM, there is a hope to get to EDM in the future.

Since all these files are "XDL"-like, with keywords and clauses and such, perhaps a clever soul could use some XDL parser and come up with a great solution.

Hi all,
Is there any easy way to convert a .dl file which is known by EDD , to
a .edl file which is the input file of EDM?

Regards,
