The FMS/OBJECT command generates object format files of specified forms. If more than one form is specified, a concatenated object format file is created. The output of the FMS/OBJECT command can be linked with the application program to create memory-resident forms. The default input file type is FRM, and the default output file type is OBJ. FMS/OBJECT replaces FMS/MEMORY_RESIDENT. Example: FMS/OBJECT LIBNAME.FLB All forms in the form library LIBNAME.FLB are placed in a concatenated object format file called LIBNAME.OBJ.
1 – Qualifiers
1.1 /FORM_NAME
library_spec/FORM_NAME=(form_name,...) Output objects for the forms specified after the /FORM_NAME qualifier. The qualifier applies only to the immediately preceding form library. If the /FORM_NAME qualifier is omitted, the entire library is used. To name more than one form, enclose the list in parentheses.
1.2 /LOG
/LOG /NOLOG (D) Produces a log on the device SYS$OUTPUT showing the forms placed in the output file - especially useful if an entire library is input. The /NOLOG qualifier disables logging.
1.3 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=file_spec (D) /NOOUTPUT The /OUTPUT qualifier allows you to specify a name for the output file. If the file specification is omitted the output file name is the same as the name of the first input file, with the file type OBJ. The /NOOUTPUT qualifier causes output to be discarded.
