Specifying an autodescrip column
In this example, the VENDORDESC
column has a column label of Vendor Desc. This column is defined with a data type of auto descrip
.
When you specify auto descrip for the Data Type, the value in the Auto Desc. Source column should be the database name of the source field. In this example, the database name for the source field is VENDORCODE
.
As shown in the example, VENDORCODE
is another column in the Columns tab. This column is defined as a lookup for the VENDOR
symbol. You must specify key for the Call Ind column and a value for the Key Check column.
For Vendor lookups and Customer lookups, the Key Check value must be Company.

When users select a vendor code in the extension table, the description for that vendor is displayed in the Vendor Desc. column.
