Set Data Dictionary Item

Use this system function to override form controls and grid columns that are DD items. This system function affects the model version of the grid, and it is one-based.

Parameters

Grid

Input, required. The grid FC to affect.

Column

Input, required. The column to change. Set the parameter to an applicable object (GC grid column) from the object list or <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

This parameter is reserved for future functionality.

Additional Notes

This system function makes a complete change; you substitute a different DD item for the existing one. You can also create a new data item that is not the same type as the old item. The new DD item must be the same data type as the previous DD item or the system function call does not make any changes.
