FORM C-3


NAME



form - display and collect data from data entry form

SYNOPSIS



form (argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;

DESCRIPTION



The function form is the object code version of the data entry
program of the same name. Form is provided as an object code
module so that the application developer can add additional code
to perform field and record editing beyond what is provided by
the standard data entry program.

The function form is called from a user-supplied program. The
function is passed the two parameters argc and argv that are
passed to the main program by the system. The function form then
controls all data entry.

The function form contains references to an undefined function
user_edit. This function is called repeatedly during the data
entry process to allow additional editing of the data being
entered. It is the responsibility of the application developer to
provide this routine to perform the additional editing desired.

Chapter 3, Form Programming Guide explains how to write user_edit
functions.

NOTES



Form never returns to your main program; form calls exit(2)
directly.
