Defining Field Attributes Screen 2

4. Now we see the Check Box Edit screen with the second field, "Employee Number" displayed. (No field size is specified for the first field, "EMPLOYEE RECORD. "  It is simply an identifying tag, not a field, and would have a Field Number of zero.)

The Check Box Edit screen lists field attributes and field edit options. You can specify as many as 51 field attributes and field edit options for each field in your record format.

These Check Box Edits are divided into three groups:

  • Field Dictionary Edits
  • Local Field Edits
  • In-Out Field Edits

5. Change Field Type settings:
  1. This is field number 1, EMPLOYEE NUMBER.
  2. The record format being edited is GOODRCD. A job could have many record formats.
  3. The field type specified for this field is "N", for numeric. The default for field type is  "L", for capital alpha, numeric and punctuation characters only.
