3.6.3 Add a New Record in a Table

This topic describes the systematic instruction to add a new record in a table.

1. To add a new record in a table, click new icon when the Detailed View screen of the table is processed.
   For example, if you want to define a New Broker in the Broker Master file, first invoke the Broker Master table, click new icon. A new input screen for the table with no values in it will be displayed; with the cursor positioned at the key field.

   If you are defining a new broker, the Broker Master screen will be displayed with the cursor at the Broker ID field.

   Note:

   Certain tables are attached to a specific branch. Which means that a record defined in the table will be applicable only for the branch in which it was opened. For such tables, the Branch Code will be displayed along with the key of the record. This Branch Code will be that of the branch where the record was defined and you cannot change it. If you want to open a record in a different branch, you should sign-on to that branch (by invoking the Change Branch screen from the main menu).
2. Enter a unique value in the key field and go on to define its attributes.
3. At each field, press <F1> for help on what the field is about and the inputs it takes.
   you give an invalid input to any field, an error message will be displayed.
