COMPILING AND PRINTING FORMS
Example 1
FDL TRYIT,TRAY
This command causes the system to compile the FSL named
TRYIT (provided it does not contain errors), generate the source
statement, print a copy of the statement and the form, and
deliver both to the SAMPLE tray.
If you do not include the word TRAY in your command, the
printout is delivered to the currently active bin.
Example 2
If you want to compile the form but you do not want a printout
of the form jut yet, enter:
FDL TRYIT,NOPRINT
The FSL compiles, but the form and the source statement does
not print.
FDL compilation time
The time it takes to compile a form file depends on the position
of the font file in its directory and the size and number of disks
on the system. If your LPS has a large number of font files
dispersed over several disks, you may notice an increase in
compilation time for forms that perform text handling. To ensure
that your form files compile as quickly as possible, remove
unnecessary font files and use the COMPRESS utility to
reorganize your files on the disk. These recommendations will
shorten the font lookup time and make the most efficient use of
the disk space.
Printing a compiled form
Once a form has been compiled, the object code is stored on
the system as a FRM file. To print copies of the form, enter the
SAMPLE command at the LPS keyboard. The format of the
SAMPLE command is:
SAMPLE filename.FRM
Example: SAMPLE TRYIT.FRM
To produce five copies of the form, enter the following:
SAM[PLE] TRYIT.FRM,5
