SAMPLE FORM CREATION

Compiling the form

This exercise gives you practice using most of the FDL commands discussed throughout this guide.

The next step is to compile the .FSL which produces a sample of the form, provided there are no syntax errors. The summary statement also prints any errors.

After you have entered the END command, SAVE, CLEAR, and

END the editing session, as shown in figure C-10.

END;

SAVE 1STFRM.FSL

CE

FDL 1STFRM,TRA

CE is an abbreviation for CLEAR and END.

Do not be surprised if you inadvertently omit a semicolon or misspell a word. The system indicates where the error occurred and you can easily go back into the form and correct the error.

If there are errors, at the OS1000 READY FOR COMMANDS message on the LPS user interface, enter the following:

EDIT 1STFRM.FSL

The .FSL file is displayed. When you identify where the error occurred, modify that record, then SAVE, CLEAR, and END the editing session. Since this FSL already exists, use the abbreviated method to SAVE, CLEAR, and END (SCE), as shown in figure C- 11.

END;

FDL 1STFRM,TRA

When the form compiles error-free, your form prints successfully.

Figure C-12 illustrates the complete .FSL.
