摘要

This manual describes the Form Processor (FP) which is a set of callable execution time routines available to an application program for form processing. The information is addressed to application programmers using the Integrated Information Support System (IISS). The FP routines allow programs and their users to communicate through pre-defined forms on a terminal. The forms can be defined at run-time using FP routines or by using the Form Editor. When the application runs, the FB handles; (1) Retrieval of a pre-defined form; (2) Display of the form; (3) Filling out the form (from the user point of view); (4) Data integrity checking; (5) Providing a help facility; (6) Definition of new forms at run-time; and (7) Modification of existing forms at run-time.
