Configure for a TUI client

Set your Genero Configuration to use a TUI client for applications that need to run in a terminal (text mode).

When the display is set to text mode, the FGLGUI environment variable is set to 0, indicating to the DVM that no display client should be used and the application should run in a terminal. There are limitations:
  • Text mode only works for a local configuration; an error displays in the Output view if used with a remote configuration.
  • Form files must be text-based .per files with a SCREEN section instead of a LAYOUT section. For details about creating a .per form file, see the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.
  • At this time, the "debug" action is not available. To debug a program run in text mode, use the attach to process feature. See Debug a running local program.
  1. Select Tools > Genero Configurations.
  2. In the Display section of the Genero Configuration Management dialog, select the Text Mode radio button.
  3. Click OK.
    Genero Studio is now configured to use text mode.

Check the Output view to check for any errors.
