FormTrap has two fundamental modes of operation.
-
Print Line mode - converts existing print
applications, especially legacy systems.
-
Records more - Used for new applications (or
planned major changes to an existing application).
In the absence of other considerations, Records mode
provides better control and is faster to put into
production. However, it does require creation of a
program to extract the required data ready for printing.
Print Line mode requires no changes to the existing
system. It is therefore ideal when used with either
legacy systems or systems where the report designs come
standard with the application software. With the
facilities provided by the
Repaginator,
this mode is close to Records mode in flexibility and
performance.
