They were introduced as a replacement for SAPscript to simplify form development with a graphical, drag-and-drop interface and no need for a separate scripting language.

Key Features:

  • Built using graphical editor (no need to write layout code manually).
  • Supports tables, loops, conditions, windows, and dynamic content.
  • Output in formats like PDF, print preview, email, or XML.
  • Separates form logic from application logic (cleaner design).
