Understanding Your Data Model › Using Fields › Field Type Default Characteristics › Implementation name

Implementation name

This field type is the suffix used to identify a field when generating implementation names. CA 2E will generate default implementation names if you have specified that you wish it to do so.

See the chapter "Using your Development Environment" in the Administration Guide for more information.

The field implementation name must be unique within your data model. This means that it can be used for only one field.

When the field name for each field is generated, the suffix specified here is appended to the generated prefix for that field.

For a field of type DTE, the suffix is DT. If you specify a suffix of MY for a user-defined field type, CA 2E generates an implementation name of AAMY.
