Documentation

Definition

Specifies whether the field has identifying character or not in the context of its usage.

Use

You assign one or several fields to the repsective type definition when defining object or table types in a data basis. In turn, one or more of these fields form the key with which the individual objects or tables can be clearly identified.

The sequence of the key fields in the display determines their sequence in the database.

Dependencies

Example

You create an object type "Material" in the data basis which contains the following fields:

• Material
• Plant
• Unit of measure
• Base quantity for price
• Description

You declare the material and plant fields as a key so that the materials with which you manage with this object type are identified by the combination of values of both fields.
