Clauses
This topic lists clauses with level numbers first, in numerical order, followed by other
clauses in alphabetical order.
66-RENAMES-clause
renames a previously defined field or group or set of fields or groups (see
66 RENAMES on page 6-80).
88-condition-name-clause
associates a condition name with a value, list of values, or range of values,
enabling you to refer to the value or values by the condition name (see
88 Condition-Name on page 6-82).
89-enumeration-clause
associates a name and (optionally) a display string with an enumeration value (see
89 Enumeration
on page 6-85).
A single-field definition that has one or more level-89 clauses must also have
BEGIN before the first period and END after the last clause.
AS-clause
specifies a default display string for a field of type ENUM (see AS
on page 6-3).
DISPLAY-clause
specifies the default format for field or group values listed in an Enform Plus report
(see DISPLAY
on page 6-4).
EDIT-PIC-clause
specifies the format in which Pathmaker-generated requesters display a field’s
data on a screen (see EDIT-PIC
on page 6-5).
