Documentation
Definition
A form level represents an important element of a form class or an application form.
Form levels are the main framework of the data hierarchy that is the foundation for an application.
Use
Form levels represent important entities such as the document header and line items in the data model of each application.
It is important for form levels to be in a 1:n relationship with each other if they are hierarchically dependent on one another - if, in other words, there are several line items for one document header, in which case the line items would be subordinate to the document header.
The name of a form level is used when generating the print program:
- to create ABAP perform commands in the generated print program. The names of the form routines called are made up of the names of the form levels.
- to generate global work areas that are supplied with data from the corresponding form level at runtime. These work areas are used as a SAPscript symbol in the text of an application form. For each form or 1:1 level there is a work area that is created according to the wa_<level name> rule. The available fields of a work area are determined by the DDIC structure or table that is assigned to a form level.
