INTRODUCING FORMSPEC
You must first log on to the HP 3000. Then, in order to design forms
with VPLUS/V, you must run FORMSPEC. You enter the following command in
response to the MPE colon prompt:
:
RUN FORMSPEC.PUB.SYS RETURN
When this command is accepted, FORMSPEC is in control. You use FORMSPEC
to perform the following functions:
* Create and name a forms file to contain your forms.
* Name each form and specify the sequence in which it is displayed.
* Design the form layout for each form.
* Specify the attributes for each field in a form, unless you use the
default field attributes supplied by FORMSPEC.
* Compile the forms file so that it can be used by an application.
