Update Additional FIELD Occurrence Attributes

You can update or reset additional attributes for a FIELD occurrence that are not displayed on the FILE Maintenance Panel or the Field Summary Display panel. To access the Field Attribute Update panel, type the margin command ATT (for UPDATE ATTRIBUTE) in the line number for each FIELD you are updating.

When you press PF4 (PROCESS), CA Datacom Datadictionary presents the first FIELD occurrence from the online work queue on an Attribute Update panel for FIELD occurrences. For more information about the attributes you can update, see FIELD attribute-types in the CA Datacom Datadictionary Attribute Reference Guide.

• To assign a value to an attribute which has no previous value, type the desired value in the space provided to the right of the attribute name. The space contains underscores which signify the length of the longest permissible value for the attribute.
• To change existing values, type the new value over the existing value. You can use the ERASE EOF key to erase an existing value which is longer than the new value.
• To reset a value to the default in CA Datacom Datadictionary, type an ampersand (&). over the first character in the existing value. You do not have to erase the remainder of the existing value.

After completing entries on the Attribute Update panel, press PF9 (APPLY). If there are no errors, CA Datacom Datadictionary displays the Attribute Display panel with the message SUCCESSFUL ATTRIBUTE UPDATE.
