Figure 2-1. The Form Attribute Screen
After editing the form attributes, you must save or abandon the changes. To save them, press ENTER ; to
abandon them, press f7 . In either case, you return to the edit main menu.
The next sections describe each form attribute.
Form Name
Legal values are letters A-Z, @, $, #, digits, or blanks.
The Form Name specification assigns a name to the form being designed. Within a forms file, each form
name must be unique, but the same form name can be used in different forms files. A form name can have
eight characters and must begin with a letter, @, $, or #; the remaining characters can be letters, digits, @,
$, #, or embedded blanks. The only way to rename a form is to change the name from this menu.
Start Line Number
Legal values for this field are 1-24 and V.
The Start line number specification is the line number on which the form begins when it appears on the
screen for data entry. The start line number is relative to the first line on the display (line one). Valid start
line numbers are less than or equal to the number of lines on the screen (24 lines). If no value is entered,
SIGEDITOR assumes that line one is the starting line. If you enter "V", the form has a variable starting
line number obtained from a field in the RPG program as it is executing. The field is named in a
"KSTART" continuation record in the workstation F-specifications.
NOTE
Regardless of the start line number you set, the form appears to start on line one of
the display. The form placement is not adjusted on the design screen, but is displayed
correctly by an RPG program. For example, if you specify 10 as the start line number,
you do not have to space down to the tenth line of the screen when creating the form.
If you do, the form begins on line 20 when displayed by your program. Be careful not
to design a form that exceeds 24 lines.
Number of Lines to Clear
Legal values for this field are 0-24.
Number of lines to clear specifies the number of lines to be cleared on the display before the form appears.
Clearing begins at the line specified as the start line number. For example, if line three is given as the
