Documentation

Definition

The beginning of the temporary key, which the system uses to identify a new object instance until it is activated.

Use

Make sure you define this prefix so that a temporary key cannot assume a real key value.

Dependencies

The real key value resides in the active area of the database.

If you use internal key assignments, the system is able to assign the real key from an internal number range, which is defined in the application.
