I already did it.
The application was created initially and remains in very old style of D-base and FP-Dos with non-relational database and sophisticated procedures.
Instead of creating cursor and running report, this application goes through many DOS-based utilities to open about 20 tables, set relations between them, copy necessary data to a new table, indexing table, and so on...

Thank you for help
