Procedure Example
V7FF8CNV must be run on a terminal supported by VPLUS/XL which supports display of all characters,
enhancements, and alternate character sets used in the forms. If alternate character sets are used, the HP
2392, 2625, 2627, 2628, 2700, or 150 are recommended.
The V7FF8CNV procedure is:
1. Configure your terminal type properly for 8-bit operation by using the settings recommended in the
System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual.
2. Run V7FF8CNV.PUB.SYS. Respond to prompts for the terminal group and the national substitution set.
3. Press
Next to begin going through the forms file.
4. Press
Enter after each screen until the end of the forms file is reached. Two exceptions are:
a. Enter Y in Function key labels on each FORM MENU and the GLOBALS MENU to see and
convert function key labels.
b. On the field definition screen, if the processing specifications have converted data which you want to
save, press the FIELD TOGGLE key, then
Enter to save that conversion.
If you try to redisplay a screen which has already been converted and this conversion has been saved by
pressing Enter , a message Form contains 8 bit data will be displayed. Do not press Enter again, but
continue through the forms file.
5. Compile your forms file as usual.
