5.1 Introduction 5.1 Introduction Form is a general purpose data input program. This program displays a data entry form, much like a printed form, on a video terminal. On this displayed form are various fields in which to enter data. Each field has a title describing what is to be entered.
Form can display a sequence of forms on one screen or one form on multiple screens.
It is possible to modify a sequence of RMSfiles during a data entry session, since each form in a sequence of forms can be associated with a different RMSfile. The formats, or descriptions, of forms are stored in a formfile. You can create or modify formfiles with three programs toolkit formedit formdef With toolkit , formedit , or formdef , you can quickly and easily draw forms directly on the screen exactly as they are to look when displayed for data entry. Toolkit is a menu driven interactive environment for creating and modifying applications. Besides working with forms, toolkit also lets you create or modify RMSfiles, reports, and menus.
