Appendix P - Import/Export extension

This Appendix describes the following extensions to InterForm 400 import/export functions:

•The multiple export libraries feature.

•Description of the Import InterForm400 Resources (IMPAPFRSC) command.

Multiple Export Libraries (MEL) feature

Description

By default InterForm 400 only allows you to export resources to a library named APFEXPORT. The purpose of the MEL feature is to allow developers to export resources to other libraries as well.

Activation/deactivation

To activate MEL you create a data area (of any type) named APFEXPORT in library APF3812. To deactivate MEL simply delete the data area APF3812/APFEXPORT.

Usage

When MEL is activated the F10=Select export library command key will be enabled and option 6.Delete export library APFEXPORT will be removed from the InterForm 400 export menu.

At the InterForm400 export menu press F10 and overwrite APFEXPORT with another name (in the Export library field) to select another library to be used for export. All options at the InterForm400 export menu will now work on objects in this library.

Once you use option 1. Create export library with empty files all necessary InterForm400 work files (and a data area named EXPORTLIB) will be created in the specified library. Note: If the library does not exist it will be created.

G NOTE G

IMPORTANT: Libraries created using option 1. Create export library with empty files

at the InterForm400 export menu CAN NOT be used after a release upgrade of InterForm 400.

The Import InterForm Ressources (IMPAPFRSC) command
