PowerFORM RTS is the service library called when an application program outputs data using a printer.
When PowerFORM RTS is used, the application program need not consider the complicated control codes of the printer. That is, the application program need only consider the output data itself.
The fixed data part of the output data need not be included in the application program. You need define the fixed data only in form descriptors. Then PowerFORM RTS automatically prints the fixed data for you. In addition to the fixed data, form descriptors can also be used to define output information such as output data locations, length, color, and ruled lines. In this case, such output information need not be considered at all in the application program.
Through PowerFORM RTS, application programs using forms are easily created.
