DTE030 – Modify the Employees Application
Complete this exercise if you are deploying a client server application or deploying a standalone Windows application. The changes to the Employee's Application are exactly the same for both deployments.
Objective
To make a simple change to the Employees Application which will require a Patch to be created to update the deployed application.
The real fields for start date and terminate date (STARTDTER and TERMDATER) will be removed from the application. These numeric dates have virtual fields defined over them, to transform to and from a DDMMYY (or MMDDYY) format after read and before write. The real date fields are in fact not directly used by the application.

Step 1. Remove Real Start and Terminate Dates from the Editor
Step 2. Modify the Data Component (II_DATA)
Step 3. Modify the Store component (II_STORE)
Step 4. Modify the Browser Component (II_BRWSR)
