V7FF8CNV Utility
V7FF8CNV converts text and literals in VPLUS/XL forms files, from a
Hewlett-Packard 7-bit national substitution character set, to ROMAN8.
V7FF8CNV is a special version of FORMSPEC.PUB.SYS and is run the same
way. Before running this utility back up the forms file (store to tape
or SYSGEN), perform the following steps:
1. Configure your terminal for 8-bit operation. Refer to System
Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual
(32650-90042) for information on peripheral configuration.
2. Run V7FF8CNV.PUB.SYS, stepping through each form, field
definition, save field, and function key label. As each screen is
presented on the terminal, 7-bit substitution characters have
already been converted to their ROMAN8 equivalent.
3. If the data is correct, press Enter and proceed to the next
screen. If not, correct the data, then press Enter to continue.
4. After all screens are converted, recompile the forms file as
usual.
Conversion applies to substitution characters found in all source record
VPLUS/XL forms files with the following exception: substitution
characters for "[" and "]" are not converted in screen source records
since these indicate start and stop of data fields. The following would
be converted:
* Text in screens.
* Function key labels.
* Initial values in save field definitions.
* Initial values in field definitions.
* Literals in processing specifications.
