Application Form of Type

Data Dispatch
Definition

An application form of the type Data Dispatch makes it possible for you to directly process read
data, in addition to using the form tools.

Note

The Data Dispatch form type does not provide raw data processing in the sense of a form tool
(such as RDI or XSF). Instead it represents an alternative to these tools on an individual basis.

Structure

There are two variants for an application form of the Data Dispatch type:

 Data dispatch using the form class

You can choose this variant only if data dispatch is specified in the attributes of the form class. In
that case, data dispatch takes place using the DISPATCH_DATA form routine of the form class
library.

 Data dispatch using your own user exit

You can always choose this variant. The variant requires that there be a parameterless form
routine for data dispatch in the user exit include of the application form. You have to enter the
name of the form routine in the attributes of the application form. You can process the read data
directly in the form routine of the user exit. The global variable <wa_print_data> is available for
this purpose. It has the relevant deep type of the form class.
