HELP text
Specifies up to 79 characters of application help text for the display field. The
default value depends upon the DDL or SQL description of the display field's
reference field.
To access the help text in the application, press the application help key with
the cursor positioned in the field.
REPETITION number
Specifies a number for which repetition of the reference field is being
displayed. The number can be between 1 and the number of repetitions of the
reference object.
Supply a REPETITION clause if the reference field is part of a record instance
with more than one repetition. Do not supply this clause if the requester's
TYPE attribute is not DB.
Use the values below to further define the REPETITION clause:
AT
Specifies the location of the screen field in the requester's screen.
If you do not specify a page number, the row and column numbers must
refer to a location outside of the requester's paging area.
PAGE number
Specifies a number for the page location.
ROW number
Specifies a number for a row number on the page.
COLUMN number
Specifies a number for a column number on the page.
SEGMENTS
Specifies a list of segments to make up the screen field. The segments are
located on consecutive rows on the page where the screen field is located,
starting with the screen field's row.
If the field is not segmented, its height is 1 and its width is the length of its
parent display field.
If the field is segmented, its height equals the number of segments in the
field, and its width equals the distance between the leftmost and rightmost
columns occupied by any segments in the field.
