V7FF8CNV
Operation
Procedure Example
V7FF8CNV must be run on a terminal supported by VPLUS/XL which supports display of
all characters, enhancements, and alternate character sets used in the forms. If alternate
character sets are used, the HP 2392, 2625, 2627, 2628, 2700, or 150 are recommended.
The V7FF8CNV procedure is:
1. Configure your terminal type properly for 8-bit operation by using the settings
recommended in the System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual.
2. Run V7FF8CNV.PUB.SYS. Respond to prompts for the terminal group and the national
substitution set.
3. Press
Next to begin going through the forms file.
4. Press
Enter after each screen until the end of the forms file is reached. Two exceptions
are:
a. Enter Y in Function key labels on each FORM MENU and the GLOBALS
MENU to see and convert function key labels.
b. On the field definition screen, if the processing specifications have converted data
which you want to save, press the FIELD TOGGLE key, then
Enter to save that
conversion.
If you try to redisplay a screen which has already been converted and this conversion
has been saved by pressing
Enter , a message Form contains 8 bit data will be
displayed. Do not press
Enter again, but continue through the forms file.
5. Compile your forms file as usual.
