Documentation

Definition

You can make the following settings:
'D' Domain
' ' Direct type entry
'R' Reference to a class or an interface or generic reference
to DATA

The settings are as follows:

The data type attributes of a data element can be defined by:

• Specifying a domain whose attributes are copied by the data element.
• Specifying a build-in type where the data type, number of places, and possibly decimal places can be directly specified.
• Specifying a reference type, i.e. reference to a class, an interface, a type defined in the Dictionary, a built-in type, or a generic reference to ANY or DATA.

In the maintenance screen you can set the option you require by setting the appropriate flag (domain, built-in type, reference type) and filling in the corresponding input fields.
