Figure 7-11. The Globals Menu
The Globals Menu allows you to specify the name of the first
form to be displayed. It also allows you to change other global
characteristics of the forms file. There are defaults provided for all
the global characteristics, which you can accept or change as desired.
Specifically, you can change the field, error, or window line
enhancements and you can direct the window line to any line on the
screen.
Action
To indicate the sequence in which ENTRY will display the ORDFORM1 forms,
specify ORDER_HEAD in the Head Form Name field. Also let's change the
window line from its current position as the bottom (24th) line of the
screen to the top (1st) line by entering 1 in the Window Display Line
field. Press ENTER to record these global changes to the forms file.
When ENTRY uses the form ORDFORM1, it automatically displays ORDER_HEAD
first. The error and status line previously shown on the bottom line of
any form displayed by ENTRY is now displayed as the top line of each
form.
