7.74 OVERRIDE

The OVERRIDE command is used to override the data dictionary attributes of a field in a function or component.

Any field attribute (except the type) can be overridden.

Any overrides specified take effect only within the function. The LANSA data dictionary remains totally unaffected by the override.
