| |
| Notice that PARTNUM is also the join field |
| of the parts box. |
| |
| (4) A series of tilde (~) characters identifies |
| the beginning of a box. The box is aligned |
| with the join field label (PARTNUM) of the |
| parent box. |
| |
| (5-6) The screen label and field pairs for a |
| group: |
| |
| * INVENTORY-KEY |
| LOCATION-NUM ___ |
| |
| Note that the application displays only the |
| trailing portion of the inventory-key group. |
| This field is a key for records in the child |
| box that match the join field. The leading |
| portion (partno) does not appear because it |
| is the join field for a child box. |
| |
| Note also the asterisk symbol (*) that |
| appears to the left of the INVENTORY-KEY |
| label. This symbol indicates that the group |
| is a primary key field. A key symbol |
| appears in a child box only if the box |
| contains the trailing portion of a composite |
| key, the leading portion of which is the |
| join field for the box. |
| |
| (7-8) The remaining screen pairs for the inventory |
| box |
| |
| (9) A series of tilde (~) characters that |
| identify the end of the inventory box |
| |
| (10-11) The remaining screen pairs for the parts |
| box |
| |
| (23) An informative message |
