Workarounds for VPLUS Forms Fille 32767 Record Limit

Use two forms files. The disadvantage to this solution is the need to change any existing applications to use the two forms files. In addition, there will be some overhead when closing one forms file and opening another.

f you have ever deleted forms from the forms file, you should be able to gain some space by creating a new forms file and copying the forms from the old to the new forms file. This can be done online or via VPlus batch commands as documented in Chapter 7 of the HP Data Entry and Forms Management System (VPLUS/V) Reference Manual

.Use two forms files as source and have a single target fast forms file using the new VMERGE utility available on the the latest VPLUS patch on both MPE/V and MPE/iX. This utility takes advantage of the fact that you can fit a lot more forms into a fast forms file than into a regular forms file.

This solution would require the ongoing use of two regular forms files for development, but the applications could continue to use only the single merged fast forms file. The VMERGE utility is documented in the MPE/iX 5.0 and MPE/V 3P Communicators.
