Definition
The following cases are possible:
- Data type, number of places and possibly the decimal places were entered directly. In this case the field is not filled.
- A data element is assigned to the field. The field then gets its data type, length and possibly decimal places from this data element. The semantic attributes of the element (field help, representation of the field in input templates with keyword text, column headers for list output of the table contents and editing of the output with parameter IDs) are also copied.
- If field Field name contains an entry of the form .INCLUDE or .APPEND, Field type contains the name of the include or append structure.
