USING FORMSPEC IN BATCH MODE
BATCH MODE COMMANDS
RENUMBER
Renumber fields to screen order.
Syntax
RENUMBER form
Parameters
form is the name of the form containing the fields to be renumbered.
Discussion
The fields in the form specified by form are renumbered in accordance with screen order,
left to right, top to bottom. If your application depends on field numbers, be sure to update
your application to reflect the changed field numbers. If the fields are already numbered in
screen order, a message is returned and the fields are not renumbered.
For family forms, the parent form must be specified; all family members are then
automatically renumbered. Again, if your application depends on field numbers, be sure to
update your application, in this case, for all family members. If you specify the name of a
child form, the fields are not renumbered. Instead, a message is returned stating the form
was not renumbered because it is a child form and indicating the name of the parent form.
Example
RENUMBER FORM1
Renumbers the fields in FORM 1 in screen order.
