Definition

Contains a data hierarchy used to created forms dynamically in application forms.

Use

Due to the hierarchical display of the tables, the form class is comparable to a logical database. A form class library is linked with the form class. The subprograms (forms) that fill the form levels of the form class with relevant data at runtime are located in this form class library.

If the form class for using Smart Forms of PDF-based forms is activated, in the form levels, you have to specify the names of the DDIC objects that reflect the data hierarchy in the Data Dictionary (DDIC).
