5.3.2 Editing Formfiles with Formedit

To create a new logical formfile, enter the command:

c:\> formedit -c [-ev] [-D directory][-C "comment"]lformfile

To modify an existing logical formfile, enter the command:

c:\> formedit [-v] lformfile

Formedit recognizes the following flags:

-c Creates a new logical formfile named lformfile. It must not already exist.

-e Displays a parameter form to get the values of directory and comment instead of getting them from the command line.

-D Puts the formfile in directory. This may be an absolute path name, or a path name relative to the database home directory. If you do not specify the -D flag, formedit puts the formfile in the scr directory relative to the database home directory.

-v Displays additional information about the progress of formedit.

Lformfile names the logical formfile. If you specify the -c flag, formedit creates a new formfile named lformfile; it must not already exist. Otherwise, formedit modifies an existing logical formfile named lformfile.
