A CODE GENERATOR PACKAGE FOR DATA ENTRY SCREENS - by William Weber
With a text editor or word processor you can lay out a data entry screen,
then process it into an include file for use in you Turbo Pascal or Turbo
C program.
SCRCODEP.EXE
For the Turbo Pascal programmer, this reads a 25-line X 80-column text file and
generates the Turbo Pascal code as GoToXY and Write statements to display it.
SCRCODEC.EXE
For the Turbo C programmer, this reads a 25-line X 80-column text file and
generates the Turbo C code as gotoxy() and cprintf() statements to display it.
TEST.SCR - Sample input file for a screen
TEST.ENT - Sample input file with entry fields defined
TEST.INC - Turbo Pascal include file, generated from TEST.SCR and TEST.ENT.
TEST.H - Turbo C include file, generated from TEST.SCR and TEST.ENT.
SUGGESTIONS
There are packages for about $100 and more for building screens for data
entry. Using this package you can do much the same in the following way:
1. Create the data entry design with a text editor or word processor,
including enough spcae for each entry field. Be sure to stay within the bounds
of a single screen. Save your work in ASCII format under a filename such as
"MYSCREEN.SCR". (Make sure extension is ".SCR".)
2. Re-edit, filling in the entry fields with some character such as "#".
Save this as "MYSCREEN.ENT". (The filename body must be the same as the
previous one, with the extension changed to ".ENT".)
3. Execute SCRCODEP to generate the Turbo Pascal include file MYSCREEN.INC
scrcodep myscreen
or execute SCRCODEP for the Turbo C include file MYSCREEN.H
scrcodec myscreen
4. For further ideas, refer to the sample files in this package.
