Form Fields (ttadv3506m000)

Use this session to maintain form fields.

A form field can either be a table field or a non-table field.

Example

Table field example tiitm001.item

tiitm001 is the table and item a field in that table. Tools automatically fills the form field domain based on the table field data.

Non-table field example field.desc

Both the field and the domain to which it belongs must be defined in the program script as follows:

extern domain ttcdes
			 field.desc

Note that you must include the keyword 'extern' because it is a non-table field.

Note: If you have started this session by zooming, you can only find and select a record.

Field Information

Language

The language in which the form and the form fields are stored.

The language determines which field descriptions apply at run time.

For example, if your current language is 2, the field descriptions from language 2 are shown at run time. Your current language is specified in the User Data (ttaad2500m000) session.

Form

form

A form is uniquely identified by the combination of:

  • The package code.
  • The module code.
  • The form code.
  • The language code.
Sequence Number

Indicates the input and display order of the form fields. You can change the order of the fields by pressing CTRL+O in the form editor.

A form field can either be a table field or a non-table field.

An example of a table field is 'tiitm001.item', where tiitm001 is the table and 'item' a field in that table. The form field domain is automatically filled in the current session based on the table field data.

It is also possible to define a non-table field, assuming that you have defined it in the program script that is linked to the session for which the form is used.

This program variable must be defined with keyword 'extern' in the program script. The data type of the variable must be equal to the data type defined in the form.
