COMPILING AND PRINTING FORMS

TRAY

Specifies that the sample form, source statement, and summary sheet will go to the sample tray instead of the currently active output stacker.

DEBUG

Specifies that no attempt to print the sample form will be made. This ensures that the source statement and summary sheet are printed even if the sample form cannot be printed.

XPAN

Specifies printing of the source statement of section expansions.

NOSOURCE

Specifies that disk source file creation will be suppressed when compiling from magnetic tape or disk when the form name is the same as the file name given.

PROOF

Specifies that the .FSL will be compiled and the source statement and/or summary sheet will be printed. No .FRM file is generated.

SIMPLEX

 

Specifies that the source statement or summary sheet

 

generated with each compile is printed in simplex rather than

 

duplex.

 

RES=spi

 

Specifies a 300 or 600 spots per inch (spi) resolution.

 

If the source file contains multiple form descriptions, the system

 

does not start printing until all forms have been compiled.

Compiling 600 spi forms

A 600 spots per inch (spi) form can be compiled only on a 4650.

 

It is important, however, that all 600 spi system fonts, logos, and

 

image files are loaded on that system prior to compilation.

Compiling 4850 color forms and logos

V3.5 operating system software does not support any color

 

references. Color forms created on a 4850 LPS using the

 

IRESULT, ICATALOG, and PALETTE commands are accepted and

 

can be printed successfully on the 4050, 4090, or 4650 LPS;

 

however, problems occur when calling out color format LGOs

 

and IMGs. A form or logo that was created and compiled on a

 

4850 can be printed (in monochrome black) only on a 4050,

 

4090, or 4650 LPS using V3.8 (or higher) operating system

 

software releases.

 

When an .FSL is compiled and the name of the source input file

 

differs from the name in the FORM command, an .FSL is created

 

using the name from the FORM command. This newly created

 

.FSL contains only those commands necessary for that form.

 

However, if the input file has the same name as the one in the

 

FORM command, the original .FSL file is not affected.

 

If there are multiple forms in the input source and the source

 

input file name is used for any of the forms other than the first,

 

an error occurs during compilation. Therefore, if you wish to use

 

the source input file name as one of the form names, you must

 

use it as the first form to be compiled. Typically, forms

 

contained in a multiple-file .FSL do not have the same name as

 

the source input file. An example of this is DC20.FSL.
