Re: 9i - A way to compile all forms?

Tim,

My favorite is make. I have a Makefile:

VPATH=.. all: *.fmx *.mmx

%.fmx: %.fmb

        echo "compiling $<"; ./Generate FORM $< uc/pw

%.mmx: %.mmb

        echo "compiling $<"; ./Generate MENU $< uc/pw

for compiling fmb's and mmb's. Generate is a (K)shell script:

#!/bin/ksh

f60genm module=$2 userid=$3_at_here.your.instance.string module_type=$1 batch=yes

(make Generate executable: chmod 700 Generate)

All fmb's and mmb's go in a directory (say source) and the fmx's, mmx's are moved (manually after compilation) to the parent directory:

..../parent/source

The advantage of make is that it will compile all fmb's/mmb's that are newer than the fmx's/mmx's. And it will stop compiling after finding a error.

kind regards,

Ivan
