Creating a sample form

This chapter  describes how to create a simple form electronically using
the XPAF Forms Generator (XFG).  The forms shown in the following
figures are examples  only and appear smaller than the actual forms.

The  steps on the following  pages include both long and short forms
of commands.  The long form of a command may include optional
keywords and system default values that you may omit as you
become familiar with  the forms creation process.

To make the form description easier to read, you can enter a comment
before each command. For example, before specifying column
headings, you might enter the following:

COMMENT DEFINE TITLES;

The program does not process comments.

You can enter XFG commands on the same line or you can enter
each command on a separate line to make your form description
easier to read. You must end each command with a semicolon. Refer
to the “Using XFG commands” chapter for complete information on
XFG commands and their parameters and defaults.

Figure 5–1 shows the landscape form that you can create using the
procedures in this chapter.
