Introduction to Application Form Definition

Form definition and formatting are contained in the Form Definition source file, the TranMap file, and the XML form map. That is, form definition and formatting are processed outside of the application program. When a Form Definition source file is compiled, the form compiler (scrgen) loads the form specifications into the TranMap file, creates the XML form definition file, and creates a form definition copybook (source file type: COPYILE) for the application form program. When you run the form through LID, lapm uses the information in TranMap to edit and format application data. When you run the form through Lawson Portal, the browser and the Internet Object Services programs and files use the information in the XML form definition file to edit and format application data.
