USR Function Field

The USR (User) field usage is reserved for any work fields that you need on a device design or in an action diagram. A USR function field can be input-capable or output only. USR function fields are usually defined as REF fields to existing database fields.

There is no default processing for USR function fields. You must initialize, validate, or specify any special processing for the field. However, CA 2E performs basic field type validation such as date validation if the field is a DTE type field.

The following are examples of User fields:

• Command request strings
• Menu options
• Work fields used on the panels or in the function’s action diagrams
