qform

 

qform is used to compile the legacy form files.

 

Syntax:

 

qform [options] file_name.per

 

Possible options:

 

--?

displays usage information

--v

shows the version of the pseudo form compiler

--db arg

sets database driver for compilation

--e arg

specifies the source file encoding

--p arg

determines the output path

--gridwrap

wraps a form into a grid panel

--forcetable

converts SCREEN RECORDs to tables

 

Usage and examples:

 

If -v is set alone, the compiler will display the version of the pseudo form compiler and then exit without compiling the file:

 

qform -v file_name.per

 

To compile files created with non-default encoding tables , -e must be followed by the specific value:

 

qform a.per -e Cp1252
