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
