To be completed.
The xpxMakeLongForm function Invokes the EDMexpressCompiler^ to produce one or more long form schema(ta) from short form schemata found on the specified input file(s). The short form schemata may be collected from separate files. The result of this command will be a new source Express file containing the specified long form schema(ta). This function will not effect anything in the EDMdatabase^.
The EDMexpressCompiler^ performs normal compilation checking, i.e. SYNTAX checking, check for unresolved references etc., hence a diagnostic report can be produced by this operation.
This function is equivalent to the EDMinterface^ function edmiMakeLongForm
