Test the Report Frame
After you build the frame, try testing it from the Edit a REPORT Frame Definition frame. Select Go to compile and run the report frame on its own. The frame for SaleRep is displayed, as shown in the illustration of the Sales Entry Application frame.
Alternatively, you can check to see how the entire application is shaping up in the following way:
1. Use the Compile operation on the report source file.
2. Choose End to return to the Edit an Application frame.
3. Highlight topframe.
4. Choose Go. If you did not set up a default start frame, ABF prompts: "Start execution at 'topframe'?" Enter y (yes).
5. The application is now running.
6. To test the report frame that you just defined, choose Sales. Topframe now calls SaleRep.
