Flags and Values
You can specify these flags and values with the ppfa command.
- inputfile
- The file containing the PPFA source statements to be
processed
. - -fpath.ext
- Specify the path and extension for the form definitions generated by PPFA. The names
of the form definitions are derived from the name parameter of each FORMDEF command in the input file, with
F1prefixed. The default path is the current directory and the default extension is no extension.Note: If you specify a path without an initial dot or delimiter, the results can be ambiguous. For example, if you enter:ppfa -fabc\def.xyz input.file
the form definition might be stored in eitherabc\defor.\abc\def. - -ppath.ext
- Specify the path and extension for the page definitions generated by PPFA. The names
of the form definitions are derived from the name parameter of each PAGEDEF command in the input file, with
P1prefixed. The default path is the current directory and the default extension is no extension.Note: If you specify a path without an initial dot or delimiter, the results can be ambiguous. For example, if you enter:ppfa -pabc\def.xyz input.file
the page definition might be stored in eitherabc\defor.\abc\def. - -spath.ext
- Specify the path and extension information for the listing file generated by PPFA.
The name of the listing file is the same as the name of the input file. The default
path is the current directory and the default extension is no extension.
Note: If you specify a path without an initial dot or delimiter, the results can be ambiguous. For example, if you enter:
ppfa -sabc\def.xyz input.file
the listing file might be stored in eitherabc\defor.\abc\def. - -x
- Causes PPFA to interpret information found in columns 1–72 of the input file. The information in the rest of the columns is ignored. This is useful if you are downloading a Fixed-80 file from the host.
