Commands
The Special Function Control Character.
The Create Form mode command; enter CREATE.
The optional debug character to check the program line
by line for incorrect parameters and print boundaries
using the current page size; enter the slash symbol (/)
to debug the program. No checks are made until the
completed program is sent to the IGP/PGL for storage
(when the form is executed by printing the file with the
IGP/PGL program). Then the form name is entered
into the directory, and the program is evaluated. If
errors are detected, the program will print, line by line
(including the error on the line where the error occurs),
followed by the error–free sections of the form.
Correct all errors and delete the slash. Refer to
"Solving Program Errors" on page 6–49.
Defines the form name of the form being created. The
form name should be no more than 12 characters in
length. Refer to page 4–5 for a list of allowable form
name characters. If a form is created with the same
name as a form already existing in memory, the newly
created form will replace the existing form. All future
reference to the form (editing, executing, or deleting
the form from the directory) must be made using the
assigned name.
