Chapter 4 Form Exercise

Note The sample data entered above uses CP.DP format (such as 35.9, 40.3, etc.) in the starting row (SR) parameters. This precisely positions the data to avoid overlapping the alphanumeric data with the box and horizontal line data previously entered. For complete information on CP.DP format, refer to the “Commands” chapter.

At this point, the PRACTC.FRM file should contain the following form program data:

~CREATE;PRACTICE BOX 2;35;16;53;61

END ~EXECUTE;PRACTICE

~NORMAL

Note Remember, a blank line must always separate the EXECUTE and NORMAL commands.

Notice that the END, EXECUTE;PRACTICE and NORMAL statements are still in the file. These are always necessary to end the storage of the form in the IGP and cause it to print. Print the file PRACTC.FRM. The PRACTICE form should look like Figure 52, except for any alphanumeric data substitutions you made. Again, if error messages occur, refer to “Solving Program Errors” on page 248.
