Establishes that an item corresponds to a column in the table associated with the data block.

Default
Yes
Required/Optional optional
When a selected item is from a column object or REF column in a table, Oracle Forms creates a compound name for it using dot notation: ObjectColumnName.AttributeName.
For example, assume dept_type were an object type having attributes of dnum, dname, and dloc, and we had a column object called dept based on dept_type. If we then selected dname to become an item in the data block, its column name property would become dept.dname.
