DEFINE FIELD(#I) TYPE(*DEC) LENGTH(7) DECIMALS(0)
Define a work / counter field #I for internal use
Define in an RDML program so that it will contain value 2 when the function begins to execute:
DEFINE FIELD(#I) TYPE(*DEC) LENGTH(7) DECIMALS(0) DEFAULT(2)
Define a field called #LASTORDER with same #ORDER attributes
Ensure that it has exactly the same attributes as field #ORDER which is defined in the LANSA data dictionary.
DEFINE FIELD(#LASTORDER) REFFLD(#ORDER)
Define a field called #LASTORDER with different #ORDER attributes
Ensure that it has exactly the same attributes as field #ORDER except for the description, label and column headings.
DEFINE FIELD(#LASTORDER) REFFLD(#ORDER) DESC('Last Order Number') LABEL('Last Order') COLHDG('Last' 'Order' 'Number')
Define a field called #TOTQTY with 3 more significant digits than #QTY
Ensure that it has exactly the same attributes as field #QTY except for having 3 more significant digits.
DEFINE FIELD(#TOTQTY) REFFLD(#QTY) LENGTH(*REFFLD *PLUS 3)
Define a field called #TOTQTY with different attributes to #QTY
Ensure it has exactly the same attributes as field #QTY except for having 3 more significant digits and 2 more decimal digits.
DEFINE FIELD(#TOTQTY) REFFLD(#QTY) LENGTH(*REFFLD *PLUS 5) DECIMALS(*REFFLD *PLUS 2)
Define a field called #SHORT with similar attributes to field #LONG
Make sure #SHORT is exactly 10 characters long.
DEFINE FIELD(#SHORT) REFFLD(#LONG) LENGTH(10)
Define a field called #SHORT with similar attributes to #LONG
Make sure #SHORT has exactly the same attributes as field #LONG except that it is 10 characters shorter.
DEFINE FIELD(#SHORT) REFFLD(#LONG) LENGTH(*REFFLD *MINUS 10)
Define a numeric field based on another field
Define it with the S keyboard shift so that it can be displayed with edit code J.
