The following diagram shows a form field:

If a text form contains a field that starts on one line and ends on another, the text form can be displayed only on screens where the screen width equals the width of the form.
Forms that contain fields of type DBCHAR can only be used on systems and devices that support double-byte character sets. Similarly, forms that contain fields of type MBCHAR can only be used on systems and devices that support multiple-byte character sets.
The primitive types FLOAT, SMALLFLOAT, and UNICODE are not supported for text or print forms.
