Remarks on program function

The data for forms of type Column can be updated, i.e. created, changed or deleted, with this program. Data which has already been stored can be displayed.

Form /Mask fields are to be maintained in a bipartite screen mask: In the left half of the screen, the parameters accessed by all field types are displayed. The maintenance takes place via the program Form Fields. In the right half of the screen, the fields that depend on the previously made selection of the field type are displayed. These fields have to be maintained via various update programs, in this case the program Form Fields – Field Type: Columns.

Changes will be valid immediately if the edited window has not been active while being edited. If it had been opened, is has to be closed and opened again.

Attention!

• This program should only be executed in exceptional cases.
• If you make changes, you should make text changes (Text label, Name, Descriptor) only.
• All changes are immediately connected to the options Dis/Enable in the program Form Fields and always/never/keep inactive in the program Form.
• In the graphic figure Forms/Screen Masks you can find a graphic overview of the field types.
