The physical file that most closely resembles this business object is

Many business objects have a database file / table that closely resembles them.

For example the CUSTMST table may closely represent the business object "Customers" and the table PRODMST may closely represent the business object "Products".

If you specify a file name the Program Coding Assistant will attempt to automatically derive an identification protocol for you. Refer to Visual Identifiers and Programmatic Identifiers for more details about business object identification protocols.

The method used to derive an identification protocol works like this:

  • The programmatic identifiers are set to be the same as the primary key of the table.  
  • The visual identifiers are set to be the same as the primary key of the table.
  • While the visual identifier 2's aggregate length is < 80 the first 2 real or virtual fields in the table definition with a length >= 15 are added to the visual identifier 2 definition.

The derived identification protocol is of course only a "guess" on the part of the Program Coding Assistant and you should always review and alter it to be exactly what you want.

This is a Program Coding Assistant property.
