Opening, Creating, and Listing Forms Files To open a forms file, press f1 (SELECT FRMS FIL) from the main menu. Enter the form filename in the field provided and press ENTER . If the forms file does not exist, you can create a new forms file. To create a new forms file type "Y". You also have the option to enter a different forms filename, or to return to the main menu by pressing f8 . Form filenames follow MPE file naming conventions (up to eight alphanumeric characters are allowed, beginning with a letter). Once you specify a forms filename, the edit menu is displayed, and the names of the forms within the forms file are listed. The form names are listed in the default format of 16 rows, with eight form names per row. If there is more than one screenful of form names, you can list the next page of form names by pressing f6 . Use f5 to list the previous page. An alternate format lists one form name per row, along with detailed information regarding the size and date of creation and revision of each form. To switch to the alternate format, press f1 . To switch back to the default display format, press f1 again.
NOTE When you edit a forms file that was created with a version of SIGEDITOR prior to 8.00, the format is automatically converted. The new format is not compatible with RPG versions prior to 8.00. Be sure to back up form files before editing if you need to use an older version of RPG.
