Linking Forms and 3GL Procedures
You must use the VIFRED Compile operation with forms that are called by a 3GL procedure. Then take the following steps to link the compiled form into the ABF application:
1. Create a linker option file (described later in this appendix).
2. Place the object files for these forms in the linker option file.
3. Either specify the linker option file in the ABF Application Default frame or define the ING_ABFOPT1 logical/ environment variable to point to the linker option file.
4. Create an image of the application.
The form's object files in the linker option file are linked into the executable image.
If the 3GL procedure uses a form that is also used by a user-specified frame, ABF already knows about the form. Do not list this form in the linker option file.
