To modify a Parameter definition directly in a Domain or Application Area, do the following:

1. Navigate to the Domain or Application Area in the Applications tab.

2. Click the Manage Definitions icon. The system opens the Maintain Library screen.

3. Click the Parameter node (+). The system displays all the Parameters in the Application Area library.

4. Click the hyperlink of the Parameter you want to modify. The system opens the Parameter Definition screen.

5. Click Check Out. The system checks out the Parameter and creates a new version of it.

6. Click Update. The system makes all the fields enterable.

7. Modify the settings as necessary. For an explanation of each setting, see Create a New Parameter Definition and Instance and Defining Parameter Details.

   If you need to change the attributes that belong to the Variable (Data Type, Length, and, for Number types, Precision) you can select a different Variable in the Definition field or, if you have Modify privileges on the source definition Variable, you can check it out through the Parameter definition and modify it as necessary. The Parameter definition references the new version of the Variable.

8. Click Apply. The system saves your changes.
