Form Generation (CREATE_FORM_OUTPUT) 
You use this method to generate forms (with business data) that are ready for output. The form processing framework gets the form template and relevant information, as well as the business data to be used, from the input parameters of the method. It uses the output parameters to deliver the form, ready for output, in the required format, including page number information (for the spool file).
