The package combination for which a customer defined field must
be defined.
Customer Defined Fields (ttadv4591m000)Use this session to define the customer defined fields.
Package Combination The package combination for which a customer defined field must
be defined. Table The table for which a customer defined field must be
defined. Field Name The name of the customer defined field. This name is used to
create the column in the table. The name used is prefixed by ‘ Label A customer defined field is identified by a label or a fixed
description. In case of a label, specify the label code here. The label must include the package code. Constraints:
Hinweis For translatability we recommend that you link a label code, instead of a fixed description, to a customer defined field. Description Description to identify the customer defined field. You can only edit this field if the Label field is empty. If the Label field contains a label code, the description of the longest label present within the linked package combination is displayed. Otherwise, the actually specified (fixed) description is displayed. This description is used in the UI. Data Type The data type of the customer defined field. Zulässige Werte Length The length of the customer defined field in the
database. You can only specify a length for fields of type String. Display Length The display length of the customer defined field. You can only specify a length for fields of type String. List The list that contains the constants for a customer defined
field of data type List. Initial value The default value for a data type Checkbox or List. In case of data type Checkbox, the list is filled fixed with the constant descriptions linked to the standard ‘ttyeno’ domain, that is: ‘ Yes and No. In case of data type List, the list contains all constant descriptions present for the specified list, which are defined in the List Constants (ttadv4593m000) session. For all other data types the initial value is empty and not editable. Calculated Field If this check box is selected, the value of the
customer defined field is calculated through an expression. For information
about what expression you can use, see the online help on the Expression
field. Expression The expression to calculate the value of the customer defined
field. This field is a free string field where you can specify an expression that consists of 255 characters at most. The calculated result must match the selected data type. You can use all CDF data types to store a calculated value. Example 1 - data type Integer
Compares the values of two table fields and returns the highest value. Example 2 - data type Checkbox
Fills checkbox (1=ttyeno.yes, 2= ttyeno.no) based on the value of a table field. Example 3 - datatype String
Concatenates two table string fields. Hinweis On runtime (only) the actual validation is done. Active If this check box is selected, the customer defined
field is displayed in the UI. Available If this check box is selected, the customer defined
field is actually available on runtime. This field is not editable and only set to ‘Yes’ after a successfully processed convert to runtime of the customer defined field. For calculated fields a convert to runtime is required, when the field is linked to a domain that is not converted to runtime. Therefore the field is not always set to ‘Yes’ automatically.
Convert to Runtime Starts the Convert to Runtime Data Dictionary (ttadv5215m000) session, which actualizes the specified
modifications to runtime. Print Starts the Print Customer Defined Fields (ttadv4491m000) session, which enables you to print the
customer defined field related data. Lists Starts the Lists (ttadv4592m000) session, which enables you to specify lists and their
constants.
