Rather than interpreting forms from FORMS’ internal database, you can use Interpret to interpret forms from XML files. If the XML files were created by the ReadSoft’s EMAIL program, see "Configuring the job to process email" in EMAIL Help .
Any XML files can be interpreted as long as they fit the format FORMS requires. For additional format information, see the XML template file, FORM.DTD , in FORMS’ Bin folder.
FORMS imports the XML files according to date, time, and name. Interpret processes the files one at a time, moving each XML file from the source directory to a subdirectory, depending on whether or not Interpret successfully imported and identified it. Normally, they are moved to C:\Program Files\ ReadSoft\FORMS\Img\ident. Temp directories are also created.
In the Job description dialog, click the Interpret tab.
Click Import XML files as the form source.
Click Configure and specify the source directory and other instructions. (See also Importing XML files from subdirectories or Importing files from a write-protected device, if applicable.)
If the files you want to import do not have the XML extension, choose another extension from the Files of type list box.
Close the Job description dialog and save the job description when prompted.
If you want the transaction (output) to contain the names of the files, include the system variable #Importfile (and #Importfile2 for a back page, if any) in the transaction description.
