SYNOPSIS


formdef [-c] [-adfqu123 ] formfile [ newformfile ]

DESCRIPTION


Formdef is a program used to create and modify the formfiles used by the 
terminal input program form.

If the -c flag is specified, the space taken by 'display attribute' is 
set to 0.  The default value is 1 if this option is not specified.

When one or more of the flags -adfqu123 is specified the flags that are
not specified are disabled.  If none of these flags is specified all 
the flags are enabled.

		-q	query allowed
		-u	update allowed
		-1	'Form Description' screen(s) enabled
		-2	'actual form' screens(s) enabled

The formfile argument specifies the name of the formfile to be created or 
modified.  It contains a description of each form, the C/Base RMSfiles that 
are used and a description of each field on each form.  When formdef 
exits, the additions and changes made are written to this file.

The optional newformfile argument specifies an alternate output file name.
If this argument is specified, the output from formdef is written to this 
file, and the formfile file is not changed.
