PPFA Command Syntax

PPFA controls are made up of four elements: commands, subcommands, parameters, and literals.

  • Commands are controls representing the major functions of PPFA and are separated from other commands by semicolons. Each command has its own entry in Form Definition Command Reference and in Page Definition Command Reference .
  • Subcommands fall within commands and specify the function of that command.
  • Parameters specify the values for one subcommand.
  • Literals consist of fixed text included in a field definition or as constant data for comparison in a conditional processing definition.
