How to Merge Multiple Forms into 1 File?

Last Updated: 1/Jun/2016

You can output different layouts of forms in 1 file by switching the forms between VrInit and VrQuit. VrSetForm can be specified in multiple times between VrInit and VrQuit and each VrSetForm can be called in different mode.

Here's a sample code:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
VrInit
　　VrSetPrinter("PDF,"PDF")
　　VrSetSpoolFilename2(handle,"c:\wingarc\sample2.PDF")
　　VrSetForm(handle,"c:\wingarc\sample.frm",1) <--Specify the first form in Random mode
　　VrsOut
　　　　・
　　　　・
　　VrEndPage
　　VrSetForm(handle,"c:\wingarc\sample2.frm",5) <--Specify the second form in Report-writer mode
　　VrsOut
　　　　・
　　　　・
　　VrEndRecord
　　VrPrint
　　VrSetForm(handle,"c:\wingarc\sample3.frm",5) <--Specify the third form in Report-writer mode
　　VrsOut
　　　　・
　　　　・
　　VrEndRecord
　　VrPrint
VrQuit
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 

Note: 

• When form file is specified in Random mode, VrEndPage needs to be called at page break and at the end of the data.
• When form file is specified in Report-writer mode, VrPrint needs to be called when all the data is output.
• It's not supported to specify both frm and XML forms between VrInit and VrQuit.
