HP 3000 Manual page 268

If the output file already exists, SIGEDITOR sends a verification message to the screen asking if the
previous contents of the file can be purged. If the answer is no, SIGEDITOR requests another filename.
Otherwise, a new message, GENERATING INPUT/OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS is sent to the screen.
You are then returned to the utilities menu. You can merge the file containing the I/O specifications with
the RPG program to avoid entering information that is already available (see the $COPY option
description in the HP RPG/XL Reference Manual ). If a field's size, position, name, or sequence number is
changed, the changes must be reflected in the program by regenerating the I/O specifications and copying
the new specifications into the program.
NOTE
When generating I/O specifications, SIGEDITOR assigns a field name to any field you
leave unnamed. This default field consists of the letters FLD followed by the field's se-
quence number.
Deleting a Form
Use the delete form option to delete a form. Press f3 (DELETE FORM) on the form utilities menu. The
delete form screen is displayed (see Figure 2-9).

Figure 2-7. Delete Form Screen
Here you must supply the name of the form to be deleted, as well as the forms file containing that form.
The forms filename defaults to the name of the currently opened form file. Once the correct information is
entered, press ENTER to delete the form. Press f8 to return to the form utilities menu.
Copying a Form
The copy form option copies a form from one forms file to another. When the f1 key (COPY FORM) is
pressed, the Copy Form screen is displayed (see Figure 2-8).
