The key fields of all tables relevant for the matchcode object are displayed automatically. These fields are indicated accordingly in the Key column.
Procedure
All fields to be used in any matchcode ID for this object must be transferred to the matchcode object. Also, the matchcode object must contain at least all primary key fields for the tables involved that are not also external key fields.
The sequence of the fields in the matchcode object is unimportant.
To select fields, place the cursor on the name of the table you require and choose Select Fields or Edit -> Select Fields. The fields of the tables in question are displayed and can be transferred to the matchcode object.
If two fields from different tables have the same name, you must enter a new name in the MC Field column for at least one field.

To do this, carry out the following steps:
- Delete the lines that contain * .
- Place the cursor on the table from which you want to transfer fields.
- Choose Edit -> Select Fields or Select Fields.
- In the following screen, enter the mode in the first column before the fields you want to transfer.
