Introduction to Application Form Definition

The Lawson Interface Desktop (LID), through the Lawson Presentation Manager (lapm), and Lawson Portal perform all application form handling. For all application programs release 6.0 and up, form definition and formatting are contained in the Form Definition file, the TranMap file, and an XML file. Form definition and formatting are processed outside of the application program. The form compiler (scrgen) loads the form specifications into the TranMap file and the XML file, and creates a 4GL working storage library for the application form program. When you run the form, the Lawson Interface Desktop uses the information in TranMap to edit and format application data, and Lawson Portal uses the information in the XML file to edit and format application data.
