Data Field Partial
Screen
Use the Data Field Partial screen of the Screen Painter to define a data field for the
first time or to modify existing data fields on a requester’s application screen.
Data fields are screen elements used to display data and accept data input from the
end user.
An alphanumeric data field can become segmented if it is too long to fit on one line
from its starting location. Each segment is placed on a separate line below the starting
line.
The following screen example shows you what a Data Field Partial screen might look
like before you enter data to define or modify a data field on an application screen.
