Use the FORMS command to start the Form Designer.

forms

Options

MODAL
Allows an EEP command block to launch a Form, Label or Report in a designer. After making appropriate changes, you will have to save the changes and close the designer in order to continue the next command in your EEP.

formname

Names an existing form to modify. The name can be 1 to 18 characters long.

tblview

This option is for R:BASE for DOS only; names the first table or view that a form serves. Use this option when you are creating a new form. This option is available only if you start to build a form from the R> prompt with a database open. Specify both formname and tblview when you want to build a new form. R:BASE displays the "Form Designer" screen where you can begin to define the new form. Use formname alone to specify the name of an existing form you want to modify.
