Understanding Supplemental Data Type Setup

When you set up data types, you specify the format for each data type. Formats can be narrative, code, or program. The format that you specify determines the fields that appear on the Data Type Revisions form and the type of information that you set up. For example, the form for code formats includes fields for column heading names that you want to appear on forms and in reports whereas the form for program formats includes fields for application numbers and form IDs.
