P was Program... it was the Y/N program file. -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 11:54 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
IAD was the executable (on VMS) that the Sql*Forms command ran (D for Designer). IAG was to generate a form (G for Generate). IAP to execute it (P for something that I can't remember). This was SqlForms 3.0.

I used HLI back in 5.0.20 days, and the big problem converting in 5.1.22 when everything had to go to IAPXIT. When were IAP|IAG replaced with IAD? I thought that came in around 1.3... was it later? Because by v2 it was SQL*Forms... Bambi. On 11/17/2003 06:14:24 AM, Carel-Jan Engel wrote: > Mladen, we must have started in the same era.
