After having imported static forms from baan4 to baan LN, which works fine, I experimented a little and found:
- You can make a new static form , you can compile it, seemingly. BUT
--- When it compiles , the resulting file will be put in the directory for dynamic forms and not in the directory where the imported static form resides. Dubious.
--- I have not found a way to connect it to the session. Seems like a showstopper if you can't find a way.

Mahesh, Pellus,
Based on the LN Tools Development Methodology all Sessions/Forms are Integrated/Dynamic. This is the Go-forward strategy for Thin Client Compatibility. You have to adopt to the changing Tools by Versions and start using DFE (Dynamic Form Editor).
--- When it compiles , the resulting file will be put in the directory for dynamic forms and not in the directory where the imported static form resides. Dubious.
There is nothing dubious, you have to understand how the new versions of Tools work. All dynamic form dumps/objects are created a directory $BSE/application/package-VRC/fpackage-module-0 (for example, /app/lms/lmss/opt/bse/application/baseline/zmB52U_a_mlgd/fzmadm0). In the previous BaaN versions with static forms, the last digit is represented the language the form was created/copied/compiled. In case of dynamic forms, it is always 0.
--- I have not found a way to connect it to the session. Seems like a showstopper if you can't find a way.
You cannot connect, because, all Sessions/Forms are expected to be Integrated/Dynamic.

I agree totally. Forgot to state my conclusion. It is : The static works if you import and NEVER modify/translate the form after that. In all other cases (which should be 99 % of the cases) go with the new dynamic way.
