REVIEW VALUES TRANSFERRED BETWEEN FORMS
Now use ENTRY to see the order number incremented and other values
transferred between forms.
Action
Run ENTRY and specify the forms file, ORDFORM1. Use a new name for the
batch file since ORDFORM1 has been changed and recompiled.
ENTRY will display the first form, ORDER. Note that the order number is
shown as 100001 and the date as today's date in the form mm/dd/yy. The
cursor will be positioned at the first field in which you can enter any
data, in this case, the customer name field. Since this field is now
required, you must enter a name.
