COMPILING AND PRINTING FORMS
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS FORMS CREATION GUIDE 4-5
PROOF option
The forms compiler makes it possible to compile a form and delete
the FRM file after it has been printed. If you use this option, less disk
space is consumed by resident form files. To invoke the PROOF
option, enter the following:
FDL TRYIT,PROOF
If the form is compiled with no errors, the FRM file and the source
statement and or summary sheet is printed. Since the PROOF option
causes it to be deleted, no form file then resides on the disk.
Note: When you use the PROOF option, the form file that is
created is given a pseudo-name that differs from the one specified in
the FSL. Therefore, when TRYIT.FSL, for example, is compiled, the
form that is created is not automatically named TRYIT.FRM. The
newly created .FRM file is given a different name, and it is this
renamed form that is eventually deleted. Due to this safeguard, if a
file named TRYIT.FRM already exists on the system disk, that form
still exists after the new FRM file is compiled and deleted.
Secured files
Caution: If you attempt to overwrite a secured file while compiling
a form, a security violation message appears and the compilation
process is aborted.
• If you attempt to overwrite a secured file having the same name
both on the task invocation line and in the .FSL itself, a security
violation message is displayed and the form is aborted.
In this case, a security violation message would appear and
compilation would abort.
Example: TRYIT1.FSL is a secured file:
You enter: FDL TRYIT1,TRAY
FSL contains: FORM TRYIT1;
GRID IS 1 INCH;
