Hi,

Differences between open_form & start_form:

Open_form is mandatory while start_form is optional.

(ii) Open_form is used to open the layout set output. It should have a close_form, else we will face an error while running the script.Close_form ends the layout set output.

Start_form is used to start a new layout set.In case if we have more than one form then we have to use the start_form. It has to be followed by an end_form.

Reward if you find the reply useful.

Regards

hi man

open form and close form are both together will crate a spool request.

start from and end form are both will create any a spool request.

usage of start form is when we have requirement like the 1st page display the data in portriat format,2nd page should display data in landscape format.

we give the page number in the exporting parameter START PAGE in the function modulle start_form.

like

call function open_form

form = -

---

-

---

-

---

call function start_form

start page = -

---

-

---

-

---

call function start_form

start page = -

---

-

---

-

---

call function end_form.

call function end_form.

call function close-from.

pass all the mandatory parameters above in all function modules.
