SPI_BUFFER_FORMATSTART_
type-override
INT:value
specifies the way the SPI_BUFFER_FORMATNEXT_ procedure is to treat tokens
and fields:
display-redefs
INT:value
indicates whether SPI_BUFFER_FORMATNEXT_ is to represent fields defined
previously in the DDL dictionary:
display-hidden
INT:value
indicates whether SPI_BUFFER_FORMATNEXT_ is to represent fields marked as
hidden (in the DDL dictionary, the HEADING attribute for these fields is an empty
string):
no-header
INT:value
indicates whether SPI_BUFFER_FORMATNEXT_ is to represent header tokens:
label-source
INT:value
indicates to SPI_BUFFER_FORMATNEXT_ where to get the label for a token or
field value:
0 Treat fields as they are declared—no override.
1 Treat all elementary fields as numeric. A numeric DDL DISPLAY attribute is honored
unless numeric-format overrides it. (But an A DISPLAY attribute is ignored
because it is unsuitable for numeric values.)
2 Treat all elementary fields as strings. An A DISPLAY attribute, “Aw”, is honored. (But
a numeric DISPLAY attribute is ignored because it is unsuitable for string values.)
Zero Skip redefined fields (the typical choice).
Nonzero Represent these fields.
Zero Skip hidden fields (the typical choice).
Nonzero Represent hidden fields.
Zero Represent both header tokens and data-portion tokens.
Nonzero Skip header tokens.
