Text Number
The text number identifies the text data. Each text has a number. The text number is placed into a text field when a text is linked to a particular record.
Text Group
The code of the text group to which the text belongs. Each text is linked to a text group with its corresponding window type. If a text already exists, the text group only determines the user's authorization.

When you create a new text, this group determines the default window type and the authorizations of the user to use the texts in this group. When you create a text from a text field through the Text Manager command, Tools fills the Text Group field with data searched for in the following order:

  • By text field and user.
  • By text field and all users.
  • By user.

If there is no default text group, Tools calls the Assign Text Group (tttxt1101s000) session.

Note

You can change the text group of an existing text.

Lines
The number of lines of which the text consists. Tools calculates and displays this number automatically on your screen.
Date
The date the text was last updated.
Mod. by
The code of the user who last updated the text.
