HP Data Entry and Forms Management System (VPLUS/V)

Chapter 3  INTRODUCTION TO FORMS DESIGN 

The forms displayed to a user are designed at a terminal with the
interactive program, FORMSPEC. Using FORMSPEC, the designer designs the
forms and defines parameters for editing, manipulating and displaying
data.  Forms defined in this manner are saved in a forms file.  At any
time during forms design, FORMSPEC allows the designer to modify the
forms in the form file.  Once a form has been defined, the designer can
create an Application-Ready Buffer (ARB) for it.  The ARB stores screen
data in a format compatible with the requirements of the application
program:  this format may differ from the screen layout.
