Outputs an image of a form as it would appear when displayed. The argument specifies the type of output device. The legal values are NOESCAPE_SEQUENCE, ESCAPE_SEQUENCE, VT100_ESCAPE_SEQUENCE and LN03_ESCAPE_SEQUENCE. NOESCAPE_SEQUENCE, the default, produces output for ordinary printers. ESCAPE_SEQUENCE produces output for devices that support VT100 ANSI Escape Sequences. VT100_ESCAPE_SEQUENCE produces output for devices that support VT100 ANSI Escape Sequences. LN03_ESCAPE_SEQUENCE produces output for devices that support LN03 Escape Sequences. The default input file type is FRM, and the default output file type is LIS. FMS/DESCRIPTION/DISPLAY_IMAGE replaces FMS/DESCRIPTION/IMAGE. Example: FMS/DESCRIPTION/DISPLAY_IMAGE=ESCAPE_SEQUENCE FORMLIB1- /FORM=FORM1 The output image file will contain escape sequences so that when the form is displayed on a VT100 or VT100 compatible terminal, the video attributes can be seen as defined.
1 – Qualifiers
1.1 /FORM_NAME
library_spec/FORM_NAME=(form_name,...) Output descriptions 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 output. To name more than one form, enclose the list in parentheses.
1.2 /LOG
/LOG /NOLOG (D) The /LOG qualifier causes a log of all forms for which descriptions are generated to be output to the device SYS$OUTPUT. The /NOLOG form which is the default disables logging.
1.3 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=file_spec (D) /NOOUTPUT The /OUTPUT qualifier allows you to supply a name for the output description file. If the file specification is omitted the output file name defaults to the same as the input file with the type LIS. The /NOOUTPUT qualifier causes output to be discarded.
