Documentation

Definition

Contains the flow logic for a print program, in hierarchy form.

Use

Every appication form is based on a form class that contains the data hierarchy of the relevant application and is comparable to a logical database. From the application form, a print program is generated in the form of a function module. The print program contains the data procurement and the call of the relevant layout tool for the form type (SAPscript, Smart Form, or PDF-based form).
