Compiling The Form - Xerox 4850 Reference

CODING A COMPLEX FORM

Compiling the form

6-8
This exercise gives you practice using most of the FDL
commands discussed throughout this guide.
The next step is to compile the FSL which produces a sample of
the form, provided there are no syntax errors. The summary
statement also prints whether or not there are errors.
After you have entered the END command, SAVE, CLEAR, and
END the editing session.

session

SAVE 1STFRM.FSL
CE
FDL 1STFRM,TRA
CE is an abbreviation for CLEAR and END.
Do not be surprised if you inadvertently omit a semicolon or
misspell a word. The system indicates where the error occurred
and you can easily go back into the form and correct the error.
If there are errors proceed as follows:
At the OS1000 READY FOR COMMANDS message on the LPS
user interface, enter:
EDIT 1STFRM.FSL
The FSL file is displayed. When you identify where the error
occurred, modify that record, then SAVE, CLEAR and END the
editing session. Since this FSL already exists, use the abbreviated
method to SAVE, CLEAR and END (SCE). Refer to the example in
figure 6-11.

When the form compiles error-free, your form prints successfully.
Figure 6-12 illustrates the complete FSL and the form it produces.
