Using the compilation options – Xerox 4450 User Manual

COMPILING AND PRINTING FORMS
If an .FSL with multiple forms has one form name which has the
same name as another .FSL, this second .FSL will be overwritten
when the first is compiled. For example, assume that file A.FSL
contains forms X, Y, and Z. When it is compiled, files X.FRM,
Y.FRM, and Z.FRM are produced, as are files X.FSL, Y.FSL, and
Z.FSL. If there already is a file name X.FSL on the system, it is
overwritten by X.FSL from the A.FSL file.
Summary sheet
If the compilation is successful, a summary sheet of statistics is
printed with the following:
•
Size of the source output file
•
Size of the printable form file
•
Size of the form image buffer
•
Total amount of font memory used.
The summary sheet is printed duplex by default. If you want it
printed simplex, include the SIMPLEX option in the task
invocation line as follows:
FDL
TRYIT
SIMPLEX
Multiple .FSLs contained in one file are paginated so that each
new .FSL starts on the front side of a new page.
Error checks
If the compilation fails, a list of error messages is printed. If a
command extends over several lines, an error message may not
appear on the next consecutive line following the error. This
may result in two consecutive error messages at the end of a
command. An example of this is the
CANNOT FIND THE BOX
message that may occur for a TEXT IN BOX command.
As the .FSL file is processed, it is automatically checked for the
following errors.
•
Unknown, illegal, or missing commands, keywords, or
parameters
•
Requests for items to be placed or drawn outside of box or
page boundaries
•
Invalid font or logo requests
•
Illegal grid units or syntax.
Errors are flagged in the source statement with messages
specifying the type of error. Refer to the Xerox LPS Message
Guide for a description of error messages that may appear while
forms are being compiled.
Using the compilation options
After communicating the .FSL to the LPS disk, you compile,
debug, and modify (if necessary) the .FSL using the following
options.
