NAME
form - display input form on terminal, accept inputSYNOPSIS
form [-qfuadkv] formfileDESCRIPTION
Form is a general purpose input program for adding, querying, updating, and deleting records in RMSfiles. The RMSfiles accessed are those created by using the C/Base RMS utilities. The first argument to form specifies which input modes are allowed. The letters stand for "q"uery, "f"ind, "u"pdate, "a"dd, and "d"elete. If a letter is missing, the corresponding input mode is not allowed. The letter "k" stands for kill, and if this letter is present, the terminal user can immediately exit from form by pushing the INTERRUPT or QUIT key. If the letter "k" is not present, then these two keys are ignored. If this first parameter is missing altogether, only QUERY and FIND modes are allowed. If the "v" flag is present, then the listed modes are also allowed in validation forms. If the "v" flag is missing, only QUERY and FIND are allowed in validation forms. The formfile is a file created by formdef(C-1) or cform(C-1) that describes the format and operation of the terminal input forms.SEE ALSO
