EXCLUDE Attribute
The EXCLUDE attribute identifies fields from a record description
to be excluded from display within a box. The syntax of the
EXCLUDE attribute is:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| EXCLUDE { <qualified-field-name> } |
| { ( <qualified-field-name> [ , ... ] ) } |
| |
| <qualified-field-name> |
| |
| is the name of a field to be excluded. If you exclude |
| more than one <qualified-field-name>, you must enclose |
| the field names in parentheses. You can continue the |
| EXCLUDE attribute on to subsequent command lines. To |
| continue processing interactively, you must enter the |
| closing parenthesis, even if you encounter an error. |
| |
| To avoid ambiguity, a field name specified as a value for |
| the EXCLUDE attribute must be unique within the record |
| description associated with a box. If |
| <qualified-field-name> is either the primary key, or a |
| courtesy key (Record Number field) of a record, use the |
| keyword "KEY" to exclude this field. If |
| <qualified-field-name> is neither unique nor a key field, |
| you must qualify it by including a dominant group name. |
| Refer to Section 2 for more information about field name |
| qualification. |
| |
| The EXCLUDE attribute has neither a starting value nor a |
| default value. If you do not supply a value for either |
| the EXCLUDE or INCLUDE attribute, all fields from a record |
| description are displayed within the box (with the |
| exception of the join field of a nested box), in the same |
| order that they appear in the record description. |
| |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Considerations
When you supply a value for the EXCLUDE attribute, the generated
application does not display screen labels or data values for the
excluded fields on the screen.
