Clause
The following paragraphs give the term definitions for the reference object name
clause of the requester statement.
REFERENCE-OBJECT name

You can specify multiple reference objects, in the order they are to be displayed on
the requester's default screen.

Specifies the name of a DDL definition or record object, or an SQL table object,
to be copied for use in defining the structure of the reference object.

Specifies the text to be displayed at the top of the record instance box in the
requester's default screen. You can specify up to 4 lines of text of up to 54

record instance box in the requester's default screen.
HEADINGS
Specifies the type of prompt text to be displayed with each screen field in the
record instance box portion of the requester’s default screen.
If you do not specify a HEADINGS clause, the system uses the value of the
HEADINGS clause in the reference object’s requester.

the default.
NAME Specifies that field names are to be displayed for each field.
