V7FF8CNV must be run on a terminal supported by VPLUS/XL, which supports
display of all characters, enhancements, and alternate character sets used
in the forms. If alternate character sets are used, the HP 2392, 2625,
2627, 2628, 2700, or 150 are recommended.
The V7FF8CNV procedure is:
Configure your terminal type properly for 8-bit operation by using the
settings recommended in System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90042).
Run V7FF8CNV.PUB.SYS. Respond to prompts for the terminal group
and the national substitution set.
Press Next to begin going through the forms file.
Press Enter after each screen until the end of the forms file is
reached. Two exceptions are:
Enter Y in Function key labels on each FORM MENU and the
GLOBALS MENU to see and convert function key labels.
On the field definition screen, if the processing specifications have
converted data that you want to save, press the FIELD TOGGLE key
then Enter to save that conversion.

|
 | NOTE:
If you try to redisplay a screen that has already been converted
and this conversion has been saved by pressing Enter, a message
Form contains 8 bit data is displayed. Do not
press Enter again, but continue on through the forms file.
|

Compile your forms file as usual.
These conversion utilities are designed to be used once only
to update existing data to 8-bit compatibility.
