USING VPLUS/V AN INTRO. TO FORMS DESIGN Self-Paced Training Guide
DEFINING THE NEW FORM
Once you select the add option at the Main Menu and press ENTER, FORMSPEC
displays a Form Menu, as shown in Figure 2-4. On the Form Menu, you
specify the characteristics of the form, which are the form name, the
form sequencing options, whether the form is reproduced from another
form, and a comment, if desired. Also, you can specify on the Form Menu
that you want to define form level function key labels, in which case an
additional menu (not shown) is displayed on which you specify the labels.
Action
Specify SHIPTO for the name of the form you are to design.
The Repeat Option, the Next Form and the Name fields contain the default
values specified by FORMSPEC, which are N, C, and $HEAD respectively.
Keep the default values for now. These codes mean that the form is
displayed once and then the screen is cleared before the next form is
displayed.
The Function Key Label and the Reproduced from fields are blank; leave
them that way.
To specify a comment, use TAB to tab past the other fields to the
beginning of the comment field and type in the comment. Match the
comment shown in Figure 2-4 or make up your own comment.
Press ENTER to record the form characteristics for the SHIPTO form.
