Hi Raj,

In scripts, open_form, write_form & close_form are the mandatory function modules.

Start_form & end_form are optional.

Start_form is used to start a new layout set.It has to be followed by an end_form.

Regards

Aneesh.

Open_form...TO open the form,

Write_form..writes the data in the form.

Close_form.. Closes the form.

In addition to this you can also use start_form and end_form.

This FM are used when you are printing Multiple header items.

For eg - Multiple orders and each order on a different page
