Understanding Your Data Model › Using Fields › Field Type Default Characteristics › Translate values

Translate values

This field type specifies whether value mapping is required to translate the display value entered for a field into a different storage value, and vice-versa. This applies only to STS fields or user-defined fields for which value mapping has been specified. Allowable values are:

• Y—use value mapping
• Blank—do not use value mapping

Note: STS fields with translate values are implemented only in functions that have interactive displays; they are not implemented in PRTFIL or CA 2E internal functions.
