Enter help text in this field if help text was not specified in the field's DDL or SQL DDL
HELP clause or if you want to override the help text already displayed. The
Pathmaker software automatically enters N in the Default column to the left of the
Help Text field.
If you only want to change the first five lines of help text, type over the text that
appears on the screen. To change more lines or edit the text more extensively, invoke
the text editor configured by your project by pressing function key F8. The lines
shown on the Display detail screen are transmitted to the editor.
When you enter the editor, the Pathmaker product sets the Default field for Help Text
field to N. You can restore the original DDL or SQL DDL HELP text by changing the
Default field back to Y and pressing F2 to update.
