COMPILING AND PRINTING FORMS

Storing form files

A large number of forms may be stored in the forms source directory (uncompiled) and form directory (compiled) on the system disks. Two files with the same name may not, however, be stored in the same directory. The number of forms that can be stored depends on the amount of data required to describe each form and the total amount of disk space allocated to the libraries.

The forms are filed in the system under their identifying names. Information stored in the file includes the identifier, the encoded form, and the list of fonts and logos specified. The original source statements that created the forms description are stored separately under the same identifier.

A list of all forms stored in the directory, a sample of each, and the source statement lists can all be obtained by operator commands. (Refer to your DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS Operator Guide.)

Printing a compiled form

Once a form has been compiled, the object code is stored on the system as a FRM file. To print copies of the form, enter the SAMPLE command at the LPS keyboard display. The format of the SAMPLE command is:

SAM[PLE] filename.FRM

Example SAM[PLE]TRYIT.FRM

To produce five copies of the form, enter the following:

SAM[PLE]TRYIT.FRM,5

When an FRM is compiled, the paper size is defined by the PAPER SIZE IS XX BY YY statement in the FSL. If the paper size is not defined, the paper size defaults to the sysgened paper size.

FDL compilation time

The time it takes to compile a form file depends on the position of the font file in its directory and the size and number of disks on the system. If your LPS has a large number of font files that are dispersed over several disks, you may notice an increase in compilation time for forms that perform text handling. To ensure that your form files compile as quickly as possible, remove unnecessary font files and use the COMPRESS utility to reorganize your files on the disk. Your DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS Operations Reference explains how to compress files and delete files that are no longer needed. These recommendations will shorten the font lookup time and make the most efficient use of the disk space.
