You can enter some parameters from the command line, while others must be set in an INI file. The /P parameter specifies the name of the INI file, usually FIXFORM.INI.
To use the FIXFORM utility you must have a FIXFORM.INI and an FXR file. The FXR file must be specified in the parameter list to change font information. When you use the File, Convert, Multiple FAPs option, instead of this utility, be aware that any FIXFORM headings in the FAPCOMP.INI file will be used instead of those in the FIXFORM.INI file. Therefore, you should set up the INI settings in only one INI file.
Here is an example of a FIXFORM.INI file. This example shows all of all the options for the FixOptions control group.
< FixOptions >
FixRect = No
CombText = No
MapFonts = Yes
MapChars = No
FixLeftMargin = No
LeftMargin = 0
FixTopMargin = No
TopMargin = 0
DeleteFields = No
ChkRect = Yes
Color = No
FixRectSaveBottom = No
FixNegative = No
Rotate90 = No
FixCalcs = No
YearDigit4 = Yes
UniqueFieldNames = No
FixDALCheck = No
FixDALSyntax = No

10 = 22008
16 = 22008
1006 = 21006
1007 = 21007
1008 = 21008
1009 = 21009
1010 = 21010
1011 = 21011
1012 = 21012
1014 = 21014
1016 = 21016
1018 = 21018
1024 = 21024
(and so on…)
< MappedChars >
65 = 18
69 = 22
70 = 23
73 = 26
74 = 27
75 = 28
(and so on…)
This example shows how to use the SX option to check DAL script syntax and correct errors. Note the second line of output. This line tells you that an attempt to correct the DAL syntax will be made.
fixfmw32 /i=ca2071 /x=rel121 /p=fixform /sx
Here is a sample of the output:
** Check field DAL syntax **
** Attempt DAL syntax correction **
Successful load of D:\FixForm - Feature 1371\deflib\rel121.FXR
Successful load of D:\FixForm - Feature 1371\formlib\Ca2071.FAP
DAL Syntax error on field <VEHICLE NO.>
Error 11:Invalid IF statement last token [end] at line 1 column 25
Orig: return jcenter (@(), 9);end;
Mods: return jcenter (@(), 9);;
Successful unload of D:\FixForm - Feature 1371\formlib\ca2071.FAP
The Mods line tells you how the DAL script syntax was modified.
Here is another example:
fixfmw32 /i=ca67a /x=rel121 /p=fixform /sx
Here is a sample of the output:
** Check field DAL syntax **
** Attempt DAL syntax correction ** Successful load of D:\FixForm - Feature 1371\deflib\rel121.FXR
Successful load of D:\FixForm - Feature 1371\formlib\Ca67a.FAP
DAL Syntax error on field <NBR OF AUTOS>
Error 11:Invalid IF statement last token [(EOF)] at line 1 column 102
Orig: IF Numeric (@()) then return (jcenter(format(@(),"n","zzz,zzz,zzz"),11));else return jcenter (@(),11)
Successful unload of D:\FixForm - Feature 1371\formlib\ca67a.FAP
Here, the Mods line does not exist. The utility detected the DAL syntax error but did not know how to correct it. You must correct this error.
This example shows how to use the SS option to check DAL script syntax:
fixfmw32 /i=ca2071 /x=rel121 /p=fixform /ss
Here is a sample of the output:
** Check field DAL syntax **
Successful load of D:\FixForm - Feature 1371\deflib\rel121.FXR
Successful load of D:\FixForm - Feature 1371\formlib\Ca2071.FAP
DAL Syntax error on field <VEHICLE NO.>
Error 11:Invalid IF statement last token [end] at line 1 column 25
Orig: return jcenter (@(), 9);end;
DAL Syntax error on field <VEHICLE NO. #002>
Error 11:Invalid IF statement last token [end] at line 1 column 25
Orig: return jcenter (@(), 9);end;
DAL Syntax error on field <VEHICLE NO. #003>
Error 11:Invalid IF statement last token [end] at line 1 column 25
Orig: return jcenter (@(), 9);end;
Successful unload of D:\FixForm - Feature 1371\formlib\ca2071.FAP
The second line of output tells you that the utility will only check for DAL syntax errors.
