Definition

This field specifies the number of forms which were used to format a SAPscript document (for display or printing).

Usually, as with transaction SO10 (Maintenance of standard texts) for example, only one form is used to format a document. In this case, the field has the value 1.

When the SAPscript program interface is used (for example, for printing forms), a print request can be based on various forms, which are initiated and ended with the functions "START_FORM" and "END_FORM". In this case, it is not necessary to specify a form for the function "OPEN_FORM". The field, in this case, contains the number of forms used.
