Example of Using Refers to Relations

Where Order detail refers to Product, Product may be defined as follows:

FIL Product REF Known by FLD Product code CDE

FIL Product REF Has FLD Product name TXT

The Product could then be referenced elsewhere, for instance by an Order detail file:

FIL Order detail REF Owned by FIL Order CPT

FIL Order detail REF Known by FLD Order line no NBR

FIL Order detail REF Has FLD Order quantity QTY

FIL Order detail REF Refers to FIL Product REF

This results in the Product code being added to the Order detail file as a foreign key field:

 

Product file

 

Order detail file
