5 Controlling Forms

Seven statements and a function are available to control use of forms:

GET FORM

CLEAR FORM
Erases the input and output fields and resets field pointers.
CURSOR
Sets a value for the input and/or output field pointers.
TFNUM
Returns the tab position of the cursor.
EXIT FORM
Breaks the link between the form and the program.
DELETE FORM
Erases the form from the display and breaks the program-form link.
LOAD FORM
Displays a form on the screen and loads information into memory about the fields of the form (for example, length, type, and location).
STORE FORM
Used to store a LOADed form.
NOTE: The form control statements (except for LOAD FORM and STORE FORM) are available in the development and run-time versions of Eloquence. LOAD FORM and STORE FORM are only available in the development version of Eloquence.
