QuickStart Development

[Jose Lerebours]

Well, there are dcabe and rcabe - dcabe allows editing of processing 
tables and check syntax.  rcabe (Normally, on the stock menu this would 
be option 8) checks syntax and creates the token table.

This is done for you automatically as you save the processing table - 
Notice the question(s) just as you press ESC twice.

Check Syntax (Y/N)?

Create Runtime Table (Y/N)?

The above question, if Y, the compiled version of the code will be created.

If you obtain a listing of a working filePro file folder/directory, you 
should see prc.input and tok.input if you have previously chosen to do so.

Again, this is ONLY possible (AFAIK), if you use rcabe to edit your 
processing tables or, at least use it to create the token table.  If you 
only have prc.[tables], you can buy a single user copy of tok.[tables]  
and tokenized them all by running a shell script (not sure if possible 
in WIN version).

Let me know if you need help getting a copy of dcabe - I, as many others 
in this list, are A.D.  or A.R. lol (Authorized Dealer or Authorized 
Reseller).
