START_FORM:

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.

OPEN_FORM:

The function module OPEN_FORM opens form printing.

Thanks

Jack

U USE START FORM

1). TO CALL MULTIPLE FORMS

2). to trigger multiple page formats

OPEN_FORM is used to open the script for printing. This is mandatory. With out this it will not print.

START_FORM is not mandatory.

Hi Alex,

No its not mandatory to call both of them in all the programs.

FM START_FORM is used when you have to call more than one layout in the same program.

Hi Alex,

look at the Docu of FM OPEN/START_FORM with se37.

When you use more than 1 Formular, use START_FORM.
