Identify the table field to be translated

  1. To start translating the user data, the administrator must do the following:
    • Identify which table fields contain the data to be translated

    • Identify the associated 4GL application used to manipulate the contents of the table

    As an example, consider the steps to translate the Title field of the PWTITLE table.

  2. Perform the matching process.
    Note: The matching process is done manually, and requires knowledge of the technical construction of the drill, the 4GL applications, and the table it manipulates.

    In the example, the contents of the PWTITLE are manipulated by the HR65.1 application.

  3. Note the key of the field to be translated.
    HR65.1 program window

    From the example (HR65.1), the Title field has a key of HP1.
