Copying a format

If you are defining a new format that is similar to an existing one, then you can copy an existing format and make changes. This provides a fast way to create a new format without the effort of duplicating information that has already been defined. Use this procedure to copy a format.

Access Format (RW20.1).
On the form that appears, click New Format.
On Define Format (RW20.2), click Copy to open the Format Copy (RW20.8) subform. Use this subform to copy a format.
Use these guidelines to specify the field values:

New Format

Specify or select a name that identifies the format that you are copying.

Folder

Specify or select a folder that you want to store the format information.

Note: Define folders in Folder (RW01.1).

Copy Format

Specify or select the format name that you are copying.
