Form specification files / Form file concepts |
In some cases, application forms can become very complex, or can have a common layout part that repeats across forms. In such case, some parts of the form can be defined in a external .per file, that will be included in the final forms by using the FORM clause inside the LAYOUT section.
Further, the external form parts can be controlled by a declarative dialog instruction that can be attached to any procedural dialog instruction, with the SUBDIALOG clause of DIALOG.
