ABSTRACT:
A data processing system utilizes the controlled output of complex forms in one of several different output devices without separate re-engineering of the form specification file. The system iteratively qualifies the form objects in the form file, modifying all objects that are not supported by the designated output device driver. A separate output control file is created with the support commands necessary to implement the form in a desktop, centralized, or production output format. In a separate aspect, the same form structure includes datablock locations permitting electronic completion and fill of selected entries. In this manner, the form can be ported to various locations for data collection and conformation without the existence of hardcopy versions.
