-form

(Mandatory)

Specify the form or forms to be used in the Merge.

Syntax

-form filename

Description

Specify the form design file (.xatw) to be merged with the data. This is a mandatory  Merge command line option.

Although it is possible to dynamically set the form file when using the -filter option, the -form parameter must still be present (but may be overridden).

Multiple forms may be specified by separating them with semicolons. They will be automatically combined into a single temporary form into which the data is then merged. All pages of all forms specified will be appended in the order the files are listed on the -form list. When using multiple form files care should be taken to ensure that page names and pane names are unique across the entire set of forms.

If the second and subsequent files are specified without a file path, the path of the first file will be assumed. E.g.

-form C:/DocOrigin/User/Forms/one.xatw;two;three.xatw;C:/four.xatw;five

will combine the 5 forms.

C:/DocOrigin/User/Forms/one.xatw
C:/DocOrigin/User/Forms/two.xatw
C:/DocOrigin/User/Forms/three.xatw
C:/four.xatw
C:/five.xatw
