COMPILING AND PRINTING FORMS
facility. The file must be preceded by the necessary control
record identifiers. Refer to your host reference documentation
for details. The LPS Hostcopy utility enables you to download
files from the host to be stored on the LPS system disk.
The LPS can also receive forms data from a remote device on the
Ethernet network.
Compiling a form
Once the file has been created, the next step is to enter the
command that compiles the .FSL to an .FRM.
Multiple FSLs contained in one file are paginated so that each
new FSL starts on the front side of a new page.
Involving the forms compiler
To invoke the forms compiler, enter the following command at
the LPS keyboard:
FDL [parameters]
The FDL compilation command includes any combination of the
following options. The entire command must fit on one line.
FDL [filename][,NOPRINT][,TRAY][,DEBUG][,XPAN][,NOSOURCE][,PROOF][,SIMPLEX]
filename
Specifies the name of the FSL to be compiled. The file's
extension, .FSL, may be included. No other extension is
allowed. The file name may not be a keyword option such as
TRAY, DEBUG, XPAN, and so on. These are reserved names
that could cause problems when you use a task outside the
forms compiler.
NOPRINT
Specifies that no listing of the FSL source statements, no
form summary, and no sample form are to be printed.
However, if an error occurs during the processing of the
form, the listing and the summary are printed.
TRAY
Specifies that the sample form, source statement, and
summary sheet are to go to the sample tray instead of the
currently active output stacker.
DEBUG
Specifies that no attempt to print the sample form is to be
made. This ensures that the source statement and summary
sheet are printed even if the sample form cannot be printed.
XPAN
Specifies printing of the source statement of section
expansions.
NOSOURCE
Specifies that disk source file creation will be suppressed
when compiling from magnetic tape or disk, when the form
name is the same as the filename given.
