Documentation link here, and Bram's forum notes here. I also followed along in the DataFlex 2026 Testing forum threads with some of the people working on updating the dependency order of their workspaces. I got inspired and figured I'd write a tool to analyze Use statements in the source files, highlighting discovered library dependencies that seem inconsistent with the specified dependencies in the workspace .sws files. The tool is basically trying to point out inconsistencies between the specified dependency tree in the .sws files, and the apparent dependencies of local libraries from analyzing source files.

The tool is available on GitHub with sources, and also as a downloadable pre-built binary. The repo and associated readme are here: https://github.com/sonnyfalk/dflibanalyzer. You can download a pre-built binary here: https://github.com/sonnyfalk/dflibanalyzer/releases.

Please try it out if you're wrestling with your workspace library dependency order. Let me know if you find the tool helpful with highlighting the specific dependency changes needed to get the dependency order straight, and if you have any suggestions for improvements. Keep in mind that this is not an official tool, just something I put together in the hopes that it could help someone with 26.0 migration. ]]> Code Library SonnyFalk https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?73448-Workspace-Library-Dependency-Analyzer I can see the recent post from sean https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?73446-I-can-see-the-recent-post-from-sean&goto=newpost Sun, 02 Aug 2026 18:06:24 GMT I can't see...

We’ve added a new capability to ThreeParams.dll:

Unidecode — a simple DataFlex-friendly way to turn Unicode text into readable ASCII.


Names, file paths, and search keys often arrive with accents, diacritics, or non-Latin scripts. Unidecode replaces non-ASCII characters with sensible ASCII approximations so you can normalise data without losing meaning — ideal for matching, indexing, or systems that still prefer plain ASCII.


Code:
String s
Move (Unidecode("Café München")) to s
// s -> "Cafe Munchen"


Move (Unidecode("北亰")) to s
// s -> "Bei Jing"


Move (Unidecode("Hello")) to s
// s -> "Hello"  (pure ASCII is unchanged)
As with the rest of the library, there’s a small Unidecode.pkg wrapper that handles UTF-8 conversion and buffer sizing for you. Call one function and get a string back.

It can be downloaded from

At some point - We're going to stop posting these updates on the forum. Feels like too minor a thing for a post. So sign up to my newsletter for updates to this and other software we're publishing.

Dataflex 20.0 onwards. You need a unicode string in order to convert it back to ASCII. ]]> Code Library seanyboy https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?73444-When-you-convert-Unicode-back-to-ASCII-does-it-look-different
