3.2.1 Field Name
Mandatory.
Specify the name of a field that is to be included in the file definition.
Rules
- A field used in a file definition must be defined in the LANSA Repository.
- Note: If the "Multi-add fields" interface is being used to add fields to the file, new fields may be created in the repository. Refer to Field Name Definition.
Tips & Techniques
- LANSA automatically includes one field into every file it creates. The field is called 3.7 The @@UPID Field in LANSA Created Files and is used by the LANSA database I/O modules to check for 'crossed updates'. Although this field is defined in the LANSA Repository it should NEVER be manually included into a file definition. The field does not appear in the list of fields in the file but will appear in the physical database definition.
- The allowed field types in a file are determined by the partition settings. For more details, refer to RDML and RDMLX Partition Concepts in the .
