The Element FILE Maintenance Panel displays all the FIELD occurrences in the record or table. You must define FIELD occurrences to the record or table before they will appear in this display. If the list of fields extends beyond the bottom of your screen, you can scroll forward (PF8) or backward (PF7) to locate the desired FIELD occurrences in the display.

If FIELD occurrences have not been defined to the element, CA Datacom Datadictionary displays the panel above without names in the First Field-Name and Last Field-Name fields and with N (no) below each field name for the attribute-value of the Include? field. You can only use the First and Last Field-Name fields when you first define FIELD occurrences to the element. You cannot modify the names in these fields.

If FIELD occurrences have been defined to the record or table, you receive a FILE Maintenance Panel similar to the panel shown previously. The fields that have been defined to the element have Y (yes) in the Include? field below the field name. The field at the start and the field at the end of the contiguous group of fields that are defined to the element appear in the First Field-Name and Last Field-Name fields.

The definition panel can be used to define fields as components of an element in either of two methods, the implicit method or the explicit method.
