Frame definition files

Form frame descriptors

A form definition file can begin with an optional set of frame descriptors, followed by one or more sets of field descriptors (one set per field), and it can end with one or more optional sets of descriptors that define the screen-labeled function keys that will be displayed when the form is the active frame in the user's work area (one set per SLK).

Some of the attributes of a form that you can define are the following:

The descriptors in a form definition file must be in the following order:
   [frame_descriptor_1
   .
   .
   .
   frame_descriptor_n]

field-one_descriptor_1 . . . field-one_descriptor_n

[field-two_descriptor_1 . . . field-two_descriptor_n]

...

[SLK-n_descriptor_1 . . . SLK-n_descriptor_n

...]


NOTE: Out-of-order descriptors will be ignored if this order--frame, then fields, then SLKs--is not followed.
