Deprecated Production Reporting Commands
If you still have older Production Reporting commands in your program code, refer to Table 106 to replace them with their updated alternatives. Even though the commands are technically supported in this release, they do not interact well with the current Production Reporting lexicon. Incorporating the deprecated commands into your Production Reporting code can cause unpredictable results.
