form.per - the form specification file

The form specification file uses the LABEL form item type to display the text associated with the form fields containing data from the customer database table. LABEL item types contain read-only values. The TEXT of the LABEL form items contain Localized Strings. The COMMENT attribute of an EDIT item is also a Localized String.
