6 Log Text Information

This chapter contains these topics:

The Log Text Information screen lets you set up and work with the extended text for a log line. This screen makes unlimited lines available for free-form text information. With the use of a function key, you can also copy text from existing log lines into the one with which you are working.

This information is stored in the Log Standards Extension Master file (F1504).

Navigation

On any of the following screens, type 1 in the OP (Option) field next to a log line and press Enter.

Critical Date Review Log Standards Information

Lease Information Unit Information

If extended text exists for a log line, the OP field for that log line is highlighted.

6.1 Add and Change Text

You can use either Add action or the Change action to add and change text. To do so, type the information in the Text column, use either the Add action or the Change action and press Enter.

When you add and change text, note the following:

  • To insert a blank line for text, type 1 in the OP (Option) field of the text line to precede the new line, use the Change Action, enter the desired text, and press Enter.

  • When you enter text on the Log Text Information screen, the system automatically assigns a sequence number to each line of text. Because of these numbers, which are not visible to the user, the system might give you an error when you try to insert a new line.

    • To bypass the error, blank out the OP field and press F5 to renumber the text sequence line numbers.

      Note:

      JD Edwards World recommends that you always press F5 after you have entered new lines of text. This updates the numbering sequence of the lines in case you want to insert more lines in the future.

6.3 Delete Text

There are two methods you can use to delete extended text:

  • To delete all the text for a log line, type D in the Action Code field and press Enter.

  • To selectively delete lines of text, type C (Change) in the Action Code field, type 9 in the option field of one or more text lines, and press Enter.
