In-between the function modules OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM, you can use different forms. This allows you to combine several different forms into one print output. However, you can combine only those forms that have the same page format.

To switch forms, use the function module START_FORM. If another form is still open, you must close it first using END_FORM.

If you specify no form name when calling START_FORM, the system restarts the last open form. If after OPEN_FORM no form was activated yet, the system leaves the function module with the exception UNUSED.

Hi,

here is the difference,

Open_form => It assign the form and printer, It should be first.

Start_form => It start Writing mode. You can use write_form in loop to write more than one lines befor End_form.

End_form => It end writing mode of current page and will require to start again through Start_form.

Close_form=> it end the Form. After this you can not start again for created file.

Thanks&Regards,
