HELPLIB.HLB  —  FMS  /TRANSLATE
  The  FMS/TRANSLATE  command converts a Form Language source file to a
  binary file.   The  Form Language is similar in semantics to the Form
  Editor    and    produces    an    equivalent   output   file.    The
  FMS/DESCRIPTION/FULL  command  performs  the  reverse  operation  and
  generates a  Form Language  source file from a form file. The default
  input  file  type  is  FLG, and  the default output file type is FRM.

  Example: FMS/TRANSLATE/LIST SOMEFORM.FLG

      The output form file SOMEFORM.FRM and a listing file
      SOMEFORM.LIS are produced.

1  –  Qualifiers

1.1    /ERROR_LIMIT 

  /ERROR_LIMIT=n

  Specifies  the  number  of  errors  at  which  translation  should be
  stopped.   Legal  values  are between 0 and 255. The default value is
  20.

1.2    /LIST 

  /LIST=file_spec
  /NOLIST

  Creates   an  output  listing  showing  the  input  file,  coordinate
  positions,  and compilation statistics. If the file specification  is
  not  provided, the output file name is the input file name,  with the
  file type LIS.  The  /NOLIST qualifier disables listing  output.  The
  default  depends  on the current mode of the process.  If the mode is
  interactive,  the  default  is  /NOLIST;   if the mode  is batch, the
  default is /LIST.

1.3    /MESSAGE 

  Use  FMS/TRANSLATE/WARNINGS  instead of  FMS/TRANSLATE/MESSAGE.   See
  FMS/TRANSLATE/WARNINGS for help.

1.4    /OUTPUT 

  /OUTPUT=file_spec (D)
  /NOOUTPUT

  The  /OUTPUT  qualifier  allows you to specify a name for the  output
  form  file.   The /NOOUTPUT qualifier causes output to be  discarded.

1.5    /WARNINGS 

  /WARNINGS=severity

  Specifies  the  severity  level of messages to be output by the  Form
  Language  Translator.   Possible  values  are:  ALL,   INFORMATIONAL,
  WARNING,  and  ERROR in that order. Each message  level includes that
  level and higher levels.   The  value  ALL  can   be used in place of
  INFORMATIONAL.

  FMS/TRANSLATE/WARNINGS replaces FMS/TRANSLATE/MESSAGE.

  Example: FMS/TRANSLATE/WARNINGS=ERROR SOMEFORM

      The Form Language file SOMEFORM.FRM is translated, no WARNING or
      INFORMATIONAL messages are output. ERROR and SEVERE messages are
      output.
