Set Data Dictionary Item

Use this system function to override form controls and grid columns that are data dictionary (DD) items. This is a complete change; you substitute a different DD item for the existing one. You can also create a new DD item that is not the same type as the old item.

Parameters

Parent/Child - Grid

Input, required. The parent child FC to affect.

Column

Input, optional. The column to hide. Because parent child controls have only one column, you do not need to enter a value into this parameter. Set to <All Columns>.

DD Alias

Input, required. The alias of the DD item that you want to use. Set the parameter to a specific DD alias (<Pick DD Item>) or an applicable object from the object list

System Code

Input, required. The system code to use when checking for textual overrides to apply to the DD item. Set to <default>.
