Hiding/Dropping Fields

To hide or drop fields from your device design you need to change the device field entry properties of the device design fields.

Note: Only fields on the control key format or fields on the Prompt Record (PMTRCD) function type can be dropped. Record/detail fields can only be hidden. If the option is available for a field, it is generally better to drop a field rather than to hide one. Hidden fields generate associated processing while dropped fields do not. You can use access paths with dropped fields to achieve the same result.
