fdefname Any valid form definition filefdefname. Thecan be

one to eight alphanumeric or national characters, including the two-character prefix, if there is on fdefname is case-sensitive.

Note: If the file name of the form definition inc
extension, do not use the file extension when
specifying the form definition.		For example, t
a form definition memonamed.Fdef38PP	,	specify

				formdef=memo.
The acif		command		requires		a form		definition in order to proce
input		file	(even		though	the	form definition actually gets u
time). If you do notformdef=specify,or if you formdef=specify
without a			form definition fileacif name,commandthewill not work.
The	form		definition you			use	may	be located:
Ÿ	In	an	AIX	directory
Ÿ	Inline		in the		file (that		is,	within the file itself)

If the form definition file is in an userlibAIX directory, use

parameter fdeflibor parameter to specify the path to the file example:

Ÿ formdef=memo userlib=/usr/afp/resources

or

Ÿ formdef=memo fdeflib=/usr/lib/formdefns

If the form definition is an inline resource, you must do

ŸSpecifycc=yes to indicate that the file contains carriage characters.

ŸSpecifyformdef= fdefname, wherefdefname is the name of the inline form definition; orformdef=dummyspecify .

If you specifyformdef=dummybut the file does not include a inline form definition,acif thecommand looks for the form

definition nameddummy .
