How to Add Program-Specific Instructions

The system library includes Inventory Forms. One of the forms is purchase order:

Two line items have been entered, with quantities and unit prices.

When [Compute] is clicked, the extension and PO amount are computed.

The specific instructions were appended to [Compute] command via the [hammer] icon and Command Editor button of the designer panel...

This command editor is for data entry programs. Fifteen lines of special instructions were added and executed whenever the [Compute] command is clicked during program execute mode.

You can also add special instructions to [Create], [Modify] and [Delete] commands.

In most cases, you only need to add a few dozen steps to commands.

Details about operands and operations are available from the [Help] icon.

Spreadsheets use a separate command editor. To speed up adding instructions to spreadsheet cells, an extra screen is available for creating formulas (Refer to spreadsheet screens).
