Defining Header Data

The header data of a form consist of Administration Data and Basic Settings.

• The Administration Information area of the Administration Data includes the form name, a description, and the development class. In the Language Attributes area, you can enter the original language, the current language (language key), and information about the translation of the form. The status information includes details of the current form status (active, edited, and so on).

• The standard and default values, such as the page format and page orientation, are entered in the Basic Settings. The Default Values for Text Formatting allow you to enter a default paragraph, a default font, and so on.

The system always uses these values defined in the form header if no other values are specified for the paragraph and character format definitions.

If you want to activate the form, you must enter the Start Page and the Default Paragraph here.

After you have defined all the form attributes, you should complete the header data. To enter header data in your form, choose  Goto  Header .

Enter values in accordance with the guidelines. The fields Tab Stop, Page Format, Orientation, Lines/Inch, and Characters/Inch are assigned default values by the system.

Enter the format of the pages in the header data of the form. This format can be taken from the spool administration table using transaction SPAD.
