Table 5-1.Tips, tricks, and pitfalls

 

 

Keywords

Explanation

 

 

Form id

Develop a logical, systematic approach to naming conventions.

 

Take care not to choose a previously used form id.

 

 

GRID command

Choose a format that is compatible with the data.

 

 

Coding lines

Use a COMMENT command.

 

Code all horizontal lines, then all vertical lines. Precede each set with a comment

 

statement.

 

Code longer lines first. Then follow with the shorter segments that may overlay the basic

 

long lines.

 

Code lighter lines first. Then code shorter segments that are heavier in density.

 

Code a SOLID 0 line first whenever you have a set of collinear segments, whether they

 

are touching or not.

 

 

Coding boxes

Use a COMMENT command.

 

Use a BOX command only when the lines generated by that command are not

 

duplicated by another command.

 

Do not use a REPEAT command when drawing lines that create boxes if you need to

 

find the coordinates of those boxes at a later time.

 

 

Use of shading

Use back from borders by three to five dots (or about 0.1 units for most coordinates).

 

This conserves memory and results in a cleaner appearance.

 

Try to avoid shading on portrait forms.

 

 

Coding text

Use a COMMENT command.

 

Remember that different fonts of a given point size are not necessarily the same physical

 

size.

 

Be aware that vertical error messages generated when the system calculates that too

 

much text has been specified for placement in a box are at best an approximation.

 

Use the TEXT SPACED AT command to force exact placement of text.

 

 

Coding sections

Use a COMMENT command.

 

Use coordinates based at 0,0 when defining a section. Then place the section at the

 

desired locations.

 

 

Source copy

If filename (.FSL) and the form name (name that follows the FORM keyword) do not

 

agree, an FSL file is created that has the same name as the form name. Therefore, you

 

copy X.FSL to Y.FSL and compiles Y.FSL without changing the form name in Y.FSL, the

 

original X.FSL is deleted and a new X.FSL is created from the Y.FSL source.

 

Furthermore, the form file (.FRM) that is created is X.FRM and not Y.FRM. If you wish

 

to create a distinct source using another FSL as a base, it is necessary that you change

 

the form name to the same name as the source name or to some other name that does

 

not already exist. Two files with the same name and type cannot reside on the system.
