Setting Up User-Defined Segment Values

Access the User Defined Codes form.

Create a UDC table of segment values for a noncalculated segment. The UDC table that the segment references presents the choices that are available within that particular feature or option.

Note: You can use codes 55 through 59 for the UDC types. When you set up custom UDC tables for use with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system, you should use these system codes so that the custom UDCs are not overwritten during a software upgrade.

Note: If you associate a required segment with a UDC table, you must select a value from the table. If you associate an optional segment with a UDC table, do not enter a value or enter a value from the UDC table.

Codes

Enter the new UDC that you want to add to the UDC table.

Special Handling

Enter a code that indicates special processing requirements for certain UDC values. The value that you enter in this field is unique for each UDC type.

The system uses the special handling code in many ways. For example, special handling codes that are defined for Language Preference specify whether the language is double-byte or does not have uppercase characters. Programming is required to activate this field.

Hard Coded

Enter a code that indicates whether a UDC is hard-coded. Values are:

Y: Hard-coded

N: Not hard-coded
