Personal Programmer Help Screen File Do Not Modify! ^ HANAMECOPY 0 0 Enter the name of the application to be copied to a new directory. COPY copies all the files associated with an application: the generated application scripts and libraries, the scripts created for use by the Personal Programmer during modification, and any tables and user-defined scripts that are used by the application. Application names can be from 1 to 5 characters long. The name may not contain spaces. ^ HASAVE 0 0 Save or cancel the application you've been designing. DO-IT! will generate and save the script files and libraries for the application you have been designing. You will then be returned to the Personal Programmer Main menu. CANCEL will return you to the Personal Programmer Main menu without saving the application. ^ HANAMEDEL 0 0 Enter the name of the application to be deleted from the current directory. DELETE enables you to delete an entire application, including scripts, tables, and libraries created by the Personal Programmer. You can also selectively delete user-defined scripts and tables that are referenced by the application. Application names can be from 1 to 5 characters long. The name may not contain spaces. ^ HMARKSDELETE 1 1 Designate the user-defined scripts you want to delete. At this point, you can selectively delete scripts that are included in the application. Place a "d" next to any script that you want to delete. All scripts that are not marked with a "d" will remain on disk. ^ HMARKTDELETE 1 1 Designate the application-related tables you want to delete. At this point, you can selectively delete tables that are included in the application. Place a "d" next to any table that you want to delete. All tables that are not marked with a "d" will remain on disk. ^ HTMODIFY 0 0 Specify the additional tables to be used in the application. You may use any existing tables in the current directory in your application; you may also create one or more new tables for the application. You can use up to 15 tables in each application. To save the list of tables for this application, select DO-IT! from the menu or press [F2]. ^ HATDOMODIFY 0 0 Specify a component of the application to modify. TABLES allows you to add or remove one or more tables in the application. MENUACTION allows you to modify the selections and/or actions in a menu. NOTDEFINED takes you to the first undefined menu selection. SPLASHSCREEN allows you to modify the application's splash screen. DO-IT! saves all changes you have made to the application. ^ HREVIEWMENU 0 0 Review the menu structure of the application. Use the - and - keys to move around the menu. Press ┘ to move down a menu level, [Esc] to move up a menu level. When you are finished with the review, press [F2] to return to the Personal Programmer Main menu. ^ HANAMEREVIEW 0 0 Enter the name of the application to review, then press ┘. Application names can be from 1 to 5 characters long. The name may not contain spaces. ^ HANAMEPLAY 0 0 Enter the name of the application to play, then press ┘. Application names can be from 1 to 5 characters long. The name may not contain spaces. ^ HANAMEMODIFY 0 0 Enter the name of the application to modify, then press ┘. Application names can be from 1 to 5 characters long. The name may not contain spaces. ^ HANAMERNAME 0 0 Enter the name of the application to rename, then press ┘. Application names can be from 1 to 5 characters long. The name may not contain spaces. ^ HASETTINGS 0 0 Choose the setting to change. PRINTERSETUP specifies the printer port, setup string, and page width. HELPMODE spcifies whether complete or partial help is displayed. LIBRARIESONLY specifies whether all the scripts for an application will be generated or just the top level script and the libraries. VERSION specifies the release of Paradox, 1.1 or 2.0, for which the application scripts will be written. ^ HASETPRINTER 0 0 Choose the printer setting to change. PRINTERPORT allows you to specify the port to which the reports will be sent. SETUP allows you to specify a setup string which will be used for any reports printed while running the Personal Programmer. WIDTH allows you to specify the width of paper used for the summary reports: 80 or 132. ^ HHELPMODE 0 0 Specify whether to display the entire help information. VERBOSE displays the entire help screen. TERSE displays only the status information for each help screen. ^ HFTYPE 0 0 Specify whether to use form view or table view. FORMVIEW displays the information in form view. TABLEVIEW displays the information in table view. FORMTOGGLE lets the user switch between form view and table view. ^ HFORMSYS 1 1 Designing a form specification. Use [F10] to get the forms menu. You must place at least one regular field on each page of the form. Use the [Alt] key in combination with the appropriate ASCII number to get any of the extended graphics characters on a form. You can place calculated fields on a form. Choose Field/Place/Calculated to place a calculated field on the form. ^ HCKTBLVIEW 0 0 Specify whether to use table view for the edit operation. If you choose to use a table view for the edit, the user will be able to modify the keyed fields. You may set rights to a field so that the user cannot view or change the values in a field, but the rights would be used for any operation performed on that table. If a form is used to display the information, the keyed fields can be hidden from the user or placed as display-only, so the user can see the values but not change them. Forms may be created for different operations, so you do not have to change the rights to the keyed fields. ^ HDEFINESCREEN 1 1 Designing help or splash screen. To place text on the screen, move the cursor to where you want the text to begin and type. The [Ins] key toggles between insert and overwrite mode. The [Del] and [Backspace] keys allow you to delete characters. Pressing [F10] will bring up a Menu with the following options: -- AREA, to move or erase an area from the screen. -- BORDER, to draw or erase borders or lines on the screen. -- DO-IT! (or [F2]), to save the screen you have designed. -- CANCEL, to leave the screen design system without saving the screen. ^ HRTYPE 0 0 Specify whether the report is to be tabular or free-form. Tabular reports present information in rows and columns -- much like the arrangement of records and fields in a Paradox table. Free-form reports allow you to place fields wherever you like on the page. They are useful for application selections such as mailing labels, check or invoice printing, and other similar output. For more information on reports, see Chapters 5-7 of the Paradox User's Guide. ^ HROUTPUT 0 0 Select the destination for the current report. PRINTER will send the current report to the user's printer. The script written by the Personal Programmer will automatically check to make sure that the user's printer is ready. SCREEN will send the current report to the user's screen. FILE will send the current report to a DOS file on the user's system. If you select this option, you will next be asked to specify the name of the file to which to send the report. ^ HRFILE 0 0 Select a name for the file to which you want the report sent. The file name you select may be any valid DOS file name, that is any combination of from 1 to 8 letters or numbers. The extension ".rpt" is automatically appended to the file name that you enter here. See your DOS manual for more on valid file names. ^ HREPORTSYS 1 1 Designing a report specification. Use the insert key [Ins] to toggle between insert and overwrite modes. Use [F10] to get the report menu. Use [Ctrl][Y] to delete a line. Text typed in the top page band becomes the page header for each page of the report. Text typed in the bottom page band becomes the page footer for each page of the report. Right, top, and bottom margins are controlled by putting space at the right of the page, in the page header, and page footer, respectively. ^ HSPLASH 0 0 Specify whether you want to include a splash screen with the application. A splash screen is a title screen displayed to users when they start the application. SPLASHSCREEN indicates that you want to design a splash screen for the application. NOSPLASHSCREEN indicates that you do not want to include a title screen with this application. ^ HSMODIFY 0 0 Indicate the type of modification you want to make to the splash screen. DESIGN allows you to create a new splash screen. If a splash screen already exists, it will be replaced. MODIFY allows you to make changes to an existing splash screen. NOSPLASHSCREEN allows you to discard an existing splash screen. If you design a splash screen, it will appear each time the user starts the application. ^ HSRCMAPENTER 0 0 Enter the names of the source and map tables. To borrow a multitable view by name, you must specify the name of a source and map table to use for the view. The source and map tables you are borrowing must be present in the current directory. ^ HEDTBL 0 0 Resolve the problem with the non-keyed table for multitable edit. The first table you have selected for the current edit operation is not keyed. While it is OK to use a non-keyed table if you are only editing one table, you can't edit multiple tables in a single operation unless all of the tables are keyed. You therefore have two choices at this point: DO-IT!, to keep the first non-keyed table you've selected for this edit operation. The current operation will thus be a single table edit. CANCEL, to remove the non-keyed table from the list and select other tables. ^ HVTABLES 0 0 Select the tables to be used for the operation. SELECTTABLE allows you to pick tables to be used in the current operation. ALLTABLES allows you to specify that all of the application tables will be used in the current operation. DO-IT! saves the list of tables for this operation. If you select more than one table, you will be asked to define a multitable view. ^ HCK1TO1 1 0 Select CANCEL to redefine the view, DO-IT! to ignore warning and continue. The multitable view you've specified may permit the user to change the data in inappropriate ways. For Example: ORDERS Order# Part# Quan STOCK Part# Descr Price ------ ----- ---- ----- ----- ------- 1 123 10 123 Hammer 12.00 2 123 5 325 Screw 24.00 COMBINED SOURCE TABLE Order# Part# Descr Quan Price ------ ----- ----- ---- ------ 1 123 Hammer 10 12.00 2 123 Hammer 5 12.00 If users edit the highlighted item, neither the STOCK table nor the rest of the records in the combined table will be properly updated. You should con- sider having the user edit the separate tables instead of a multitable edit. ^ HREGKEYS 0 0 Do you want to modify the selected form to make key fields display-only? The list below shows key fields that are placed as Regular fields on the form you've selected. If users edit the values in these fields, records in the table(s) being edited may become disordered. MODIFY allows you to change the form; DO-IT! allows you to ignore this warning and leave the form as is. ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ^ HCREATESYS 1 1 Creating a table. To create a new table, fill in the two columns of the STRUCT table. Field Names will become column headings for the new table. Names can be up to 25 characters long. Names may not begin with a blank, but may contain blanks, and must be unique. Names may not contain the characters [ or ], or the combination ->. If you retype a name, the field will be moved to the new position. Capital initials will automatically be used. If you don't want initial caps, you can edit the name using [Alt][F5]. Field Type specifies what kind of data the field will contain. Placing an asterisk after the Field Type specifier will make it a key field. Key fields must be grouped together at the beginning of the table (from top to bottom when filling in the STRUCT table). ^ HWELCOME 0 0 Select an action from the menu. The information in these boxes will help you to create applications. The top box shows the current status of the application on which you are working. This bottom box contains additional information and help. The Personal Programmer menu works just like the Paradox menu -- Use the - and - keys to move the highlight to the selection you want... then press ┘ to choose the highlighted selection. Press [Esc] to return to the previous menu. ^ HOPBORROW 0 0 Pick the menu selection with the action you want to borrow. Use the - and - keys to move around the menu display. Press ┘ to move down a menu level, [Esc] to move up a level. When the menu selection with the action you want to borrow is highlighted, press [F10] and select BORROWACTION from the menu. To cancel borrowing a menu selection's action, press [F10] and select CANCEL from the menu. ^ HDODEFINE 0 0 Select an action. Choose SPECIFYACTION to bring up the Action Menu that allows you to define the operations you want to associate with the current menu selection. Choose DO-IT! or press [F2] to save all your work to this point and finish defining the application. Choose CANCEL to return to the Personal Programmer Main menu without saving your work. ^ HSELDEFINE 0 0 Select an action to attach to the menu selection. MENU lets you attach a submenu to the current selection VIEW lets you show records in one or more tables to the user REPORT allows users to send a report to the printer, screen, or a file DATAENTRY allows users to add records to one or more tables EDIT allows users to change records in one or more tables SCRIPT lets you attach a predefined script to a menu selection HELP lets you show a help screen to the user NOTDEFINED lets you leave a menu selection undefined for the time being CANCEL lets you define a selection that returns the user to the previous menu ^ HCKVMODIFY 0 0 Specify whether or not to replace the currently-defined view. If you replace the currently-defined view, you will have to specify a new form or report specification for the current operation. In addition, if the operation includes a query to specify records, that query will have to be respecified. CANCEL allows you to keep the current table or view. REPLACE allows you to go ahead and change the table or view. ^ HMVMENU 0 0 Enter the names of menu selections and their descriptions. Menu selection names can be up to 20 characters long, descriptions up to 60. - and - move you around the menu you are designing. [Ins] inserts a new selection, [Del] deletes the highlighted selection. [F9] allows you to edit the highlighted selection name or its description; when you are finished editing, press [Enter]. When you are finished designing the current menu level, press [F2] or press [F10] and select DO-IT! from the menu. ^ HSELREDEFINE 0 0 Specify the kind of modification to make. DEFINE allows you to redefine the current menu selection if it is already defined, or to define it for the first time if it is currently NotDefined. REVISE lets you modify the components of the current selection's definition. BORROW lets you copy the definition of an already-defined selection to the current selection. MOVEDOWN lets you push the current selection down to a lower menu level and create a new menu selection in its place on the current level. ^ HSPECIFYMODIFY 0 0 Specify whether you want to modify a menu or an action. MENU allows you to modify the current menu level. You can add new selections, edit existing selections, or delete selections. If you delete a menu selection, all actions or lower-level menus attached to that selection will be deleted as well. ACTION allows you to modify the action associated with the current menu selection. DO-IT! saves the modifications you have specified to this point. ^ HMMODIFY 0 0 Pick the menu selection you want to modify. Use the - and - keys to move around the menu display. Press ┘ to move down a menu level, [Esc] to move up a menu level. When the menu selection you want to modify is highlighted, press [F10] to display the action menu, then select the type of modification you want to make. ^ HVARPROMPT 0 0 Enter the prompt for the variable. Provide a descriptive phrase users will be prompted with when asked to specify a value for the query variable. Prompts may be up to 70 characters long. Examples: Enter the two character abbreviation of the State: Enter the Customer Number: ^ HVARTYPE 0 0 Confirm the data type of the variable. The Personal Programmer assumes that the data type of the variable is the same as the field type of the field in which it is placed. This may not be the case, especially when dealing with dates and numbers. For example, you may want to use a variable to add a number to a date in a date field. In this case, the Personal Programmer would make the incorrect assumption that the variable is a date. You may also want to change the length of an alphanumeric variable. The assumed data type of the variable is shown at the top of the screen. If it's not correct, backspace over it and replace it with the proper data type. ^ HQFILL 1 1 Selecting the records to be displayed. The following query operators CAN be used in selection criteria: Literal values (e.g. New York, 2/1/86, 123) Patterns: Groups, Comparisons: .. any group of characters not negation @ any single character < less than like inexact match <= less than or equal today today's date > greater than blank empty field >= greater than or equal Tilde variables (e.g. ~orderdate) can be used to provide for end user input. The user will be prompted to fill in the value to select on. The following Paradox query operators CANNOT be used through the Programmer: All Calc operators, Insert, Delete, Changeto, Find, Examples using [F5], CheckMarks (√) using [F6]. ^ HRCHOOSE 0 0 Specify a report to be used for the operation. DESIGN allows you to design a new custom report. BORROW allows you to borrow an existing report to use in the current operation. STANDARDREPORT allows you to use the standard report (R) for the table or multitable view. ^ HFCHOOSE 0 0 Specify a form to be used for the operation. DESIGN allows you to design a new custom form. BORROW allows you to borrow an existing form to use in the current operation. STANDARDFORM allows you to use the standard form (F) for the table or multitable view. ^ HFMODIFY 0 0 Indicate whether you want to keep or modify the existing form spec. KEEP retains the existing form specification. MODIFY changes the existing form. FORMVIEW displays the information in form view. TABLEVIEW displays the information in table view. FORMTOGGLE lets the user switch between form view and table view. ^ HRMODIFY 0 0 Indicate whether you want to keep or modify the existing report spec. KEEP retains the existing report specification. MODIFY changes the existing report. DESIGN indicates that you want to totally replace the existing report, or to design a new one from scratch if none currently exists. BORROW indicates that you want to borrow another already-designed report. STANDARDREPORT indicates that you want to use the standard report (R). ^ HFBORROW 0 0 Select a form to borrow for the current operation. Highlight the number of the form you want to borrow, then press ┘ to select it. ^ HRBORROW 0 0 Select a report to borrow for the current operation. Highlight the number of the reort you want to borrow, then press ┘ to select it. ^ HFDESIGN 0 0 Assign a number to the form you will be designing. Highlight the number you want to assign to the form you will be designing for the current operation, then press ┘ to select it. ^ HRDESIGN 0 0 Assign a number to the report you will be designing. Highlight the number you want to assign to the report you will be designing for the current operation, then press ┘ to select it. ^ HFDESC 0 0 Enter the description of the form you will be designing. Give a description of the form you will be designing. This description can help you keep track of the different forms you design for each table. The description can be up to 40 characters long. ^ HRDESC 0 0 Enter the description of the report you will be designing. Give a description of the report you will be designing. This description can help you keep track of the different reports you design for each table. The description is also used as the title for the report (you can change this if you wish). The description can be up to 40 characters long. ^ HINSDELRECORD 0 0 Specify if you want to allow insertion or deletion of records in the edit. The default setting is no insertion or deletion. Note that this default provides maximum data integrity (insertion of large numbers of records should be done in data entry mode, not in edit mode; it may be dangerous to allow users to delete records). However, performance of the application during the edit operation is increased if insert and delete are allowed. [Esc] returns to the previous menu. ^ HDOCHOOSESET 1 1 Specifying field formats and validity checks. To specify a format or a validity check for a field, move the cursor to the field for which you want to set the check or format and press [F10]. You will get a menu with the following options: -- FORMAT, to allow you to reformat the current field (only applicable to Number, Dollar, and Date fields). -- VALCHECK, to allow you to set a validity check for the current field. -- DO-IT! or [F2], to save the formats or checks to this point. Once you've specified a format or check you can go back to the sample record and enter values to make sure that the format or check works the way you'd like it to. You can then choose another field on which to set a format or check. ^ HDECHOOSESET 0 0 Specify if you want to set ValChecks or image settings. SETTINGS lets you establish validity checks or image settings for the form you have selected for the current data entry operation. DO-IT! saves all settings you have established to this point. CANCEL returns you to the previous menu without keeping any settings. ^ HEDCHOOSESET 0 0 Specify if you want to set ValChecks or image settings; allow InsertDelete. SETTINGS lets you establish validity checks or image settings for the form you have selected for the current edit operation. INSERTDELETE lets you allow the user to insert or delete records during the edit operation. DO-IT! saves all settings you have established to this point. CANCEL returns you to the previous menu without keeping any settings. ^ HSUMTYPE 0 0 Select the summary report to be generated. MENU generates a report describing each selection in each menu in your application. FILE lists all the files used in the generated application. TREE displays the application structure as a tree. ALL outputs all three of the above reports. ^ HSUMOUTPUT 0 0 Select the destination for the application summary report. PRINTER will send the summary report to the printer. SCREEN will send the summary report to the screen. FILE will send the summary report to a DOS file. If you select this option, you will next be asked to specify the name of the file to which to send the report. ^ HSUMFILE 0 0 Select a name for the file to which you want the summary report sent. The file name you select may be any valid DOS file name, that is, any combination of from 1 to 8 letters or numbers. The extension ".rpt" is automatically appended to the file name that you enter here. See your DOS manual for more on valid file names. ^ HMLISTING 1 0 Generating the menu report for the application. The menu report lists the application's menu selections and shows the action for each one. The report is organized by menu level: Menu Path: (shows the menu level being summarized) /Main/ Script containing this menu: (shows the script and library for this menu) Library containing the procedures for this menu: Query, Help Selection Selection Source Map Tables or User Name Action Table Table Used Script ------------- ------------ --------- ------- ------ ----------- (Lists each (Shows the (If the operation (Shows the tables used selection operation uses a multitable and the query, help, in each menu associated view, shows the or user script level.) with the names of the source assigned to this selection.) and map tables.) selection.) ^ HALISTING 1 0 Generating the application file report. The file listing report lists the names of the scripts created by the Personal Programmer for the application. All of the objects used in the application are also listed. You may edit any of the scripts listed in the summary report. There are other scripts and tables in the directory that are not listed in the summary report. These are used whenever you want to modify an application with the Personal Programmer. If you change them, the Personal Programmer will not be able to reconstruct the structure of the application. Thus, you won't be able to use the Personal Programmer to modify it. ^ HTRLISTING 1 0 Generating the application tree report. The tree report displays the application in a tree format as shown below: Main ─┐ ├─── View ─┐ │ ├─── Products [ View ] │ ├─── Orders [ View ] │ └─── Customer [ View ] ├─── Report ─┐ │ ├─── Products [ Report ] │ ├─── Orders [ Report ] │ └─── Customer [ Report ] └─── Leave [ Leave ] ^ HTDOSELECT 0 0 Specify the tables that will be used in the application. You may use any existing tables in the current directory in your application; you may also create one or more new tables for the application. You can use up to 15 tables in each application. To save the list of tables for this application, select DO-IT! from the menu or press [F2]. ^ HTPROMPTS 0 0 Enter a description for each table in the application. The descriptions you enter here will be used to help you identify each table as you develop or modify the application. Each description can be up to 60 characters long. Press ┘ when you have finished entering the description for each table. Press [Esc] to back up to a previous description and edit it. ^ HUSECKPASSWORD 0 0 Enter the password for the table. The table is password protected. To use it, you must provide its password. If you do not know the password, press [Esc]. ^ HCPCKPASSWORD 0 0 Enter the password for the table. The table is password protected. To copy it, you must provide its password. If you do not know the password, press [Esc]. Copying will continue for all non-protected tables. ^ HDELCKPASSWORD 0 0 Enter the password for the table. The table is password protected. To delete it, you must provide its password. If you do not know the password, press [Esc]. Deletion will continue for all non-protected tables. ^ HVDEFINE 0 0 Specify a multitable view to be used for the operation. Because you have indicated that more than one table is to be used in the current operation, it is necessary to specify a multitable view. This involves designating a multitable source table and map. You may either create a new view or borrow an existing view. For more information on multitable operations, see Chapter 10 of the Personal Programmer User's Guide. CREATE allows you to define a new multitable view for the current operation. BORROW allows you to borrow an existing multitable view. ^ HVCHANGE 0 0 Specify the method to change the view. MODIFY lets you change the view already specified. CREATE allows you to define a new multitable view for the current operation. BORROW allows you to borrow an existing multitable view. ^ HFLDCHOOSE 0 0 Indicate whether you want to select fields or use all fields in the table. SELECTFIELDS lets you use a query form to specify that only certain fields are to be active during the current operation. This is the same as using checkmarks in a query form to indicate the fields to be displayed in the ANSWER table in Paradox. (In the Personal Programmer, you can't checkmark fields at the same time as you are specifying selection criteria). ALLFIELDS allows you to include all fields in the table in the current operation. This is equivalent to checking all the fields in a query form in Paradox. ^ HFLDMODIFY 0 0 Indicate whether to modify, select fields, or use all fields in the table. MODIFY lets you change the fields selected. SELECTFIELDS lets you use a query form to specify that only certain fields are to be active during the current operation. This is the same as using checkmarks in a query form to indicate the fields to be displayed in the ANSWER table in Paradox. ALLFIELDS allows you to include all fields in the table in the current operation. ^ HVCREATE 1 1 Designing a multitable view. Creating a multitable view involves specifying how the various tables you have selected for the current operation are to be linked together. Use the [F5] key to create Examples that will indicate the fields that correspond in the tables. Then use [F6] to place a checkmark in the fields from the tables that you want to be active. One and only one checkmark must be placed in each pair or group of fields that are linked together through Examples. No selection criteria may be indicated on the query forms at this point. The multitable view you specify will automatically create source and map tables that will be used to link the tables you have specified. For more information on source and map tables, see Chapter 10 of the Personal Programmer User's Guide. ^ HFLDSELECT 1 1 Selecting the fields to use for the View. Use [F6] to place a CheckMark (√) in the fields of the table that you want to be active. This is the same as Checking fields in a query form in Paradox. No selection criteria may be indicated on the query form at this point. You will have the opportunity to select records during the next step in building the application. When you are finished Checking the fields you want, press DO-IT! [F2] or press Menu [F10] and select DO-IT! from the menu. Select CANCEL from the menu to return to the previous menu. ^ HVDOMODIFY 0 0 Specify whether to keep the table or tables used in the current view. KEEP allows you to retain the table or tables used in the view for the current operation. You can then revise the view to change the fields it includes. NEW allows you to select new tables for the view used in the current operation. ^ HVMODIFY 0 0 Indicate whether you want to keep or modify the existing table or view. KEEP indicates that you want to retain the existing table or view. MODIFY indicates that you want to change the existing table or view. If you modify the existing view, you will have to respecify any reports, selection queries, and forms that are used in the current operation. ^ HQDEFINE 0 0 Specify the records to be included for the operation. At this point, you can decide whether to specify selection criteria for the records that will be presented to the user for this menu operation or to display all records in the relevent table or tables. SELECTRECORDS allows you to create a query that will be used to specify the records that will be shown to the user in this operation. ALLRECORDS allows you to display all records in the table or tables used in the current operation. ^ HQMODIFY 0 0 Indicate whether you want to keep or modify the existing selection query. KEEP indicates that you want to retain the existing selection query. MODIFY indicates that you want to change the existing query. CREATE indicates that you want to totally replace the existing query, or to design a new one from scratch if no query currently exists. NOQUERY indicates that you want to remove an existing selection query. ^ HBORROWMETHOD 0 0 Specify the method you will use to borrow the view. MENU allows you to move around the menu of the application you are currently designing and to borrow the view associated with a particular menu selection. NAME allows you to specify a source table and map by name. ^ HVBORROW 0 0 Pick the menu selection with the view you want to borrow. Use the - and - keys to move around the menu display. Press ┘ to move down a menu level, [Esc] to move up a level. When the menu selection with the view you want to borrow is highlighted, press [F10] and select BORROWVIEW from the menu. To cancel borrowing a view by menu, press [F10] and select CANCEL from the menu. ^ HANAMESUM 0 0 Enter the name of the application to summarize, then press ┘. Application names can be from 1 to 5 characters long. The name may not contain spaces. ^ HGETDIR 0 0 Enter the name of the directory in which to copy the entire application. When naming the subdirectory to copy the application to, it is preferable to use its full path name. For example, C:\paradox\sample specifies that you want to use the \sample subdirectory under the \paradox directory on your C: drive. After the copy, you should copy any files which the application does not explicitly know about. For example, any lookup tables or tables or scripts referenced within a user defined script which is assigned to a menu selection will not be copied. ^ HANAMECREATE 0 0 Enter a name for the new application, then press ┘. Application names can be from 1 to 5 characters long. The name may not contain spaces. ^ HFMODDESC 0 0 Change the description of the form you will be designing. Give a description of the form you will be designing. This description can help you keep track of the different forms you design for each table. The description can be up to 40 characters long. ^ HRMODDESC 0 0 Change the description of the report you will be designing. Give a description of the report you will be designing.
