When the called form is exited Form Builder processing resumes in the calling form at the point from which you initiated the call to CALL_FORM.

Open Form: Opens the indicated form. Use OPEN_FORM to create multiple-form applications, that is, applications that open more than one form at the same time.

New Form: Exits the current form and enters the indicated form. The calling form is terminated as the parent form .If the calling form had been called by a higher form, Form Builder keeps the higher call active and treats it as a call to the new form.

Types of Record-Groups?

Static Record Group: - A static record group is not associated with a query; instead, we define its structure and row values at design time, and they remain fixed at runtime. Static record groups can be created and modified only at design time.

Query Based Record Group: - A query record group is a record group that has an associated SELECT statement. The columns in a query record group derive their default names, data types, and lengths from the database columns referenced in the SELECT statement. The records in a query record group are the rows retrieved by the query associated with that record group.

Non Query Record Group: - A non-query record group is a group that does not have an associated query, but whose structure and values can be modified programmatically at runtime. Non-query record groups can be created and modified only at runtime.
