To use the implicit method, specify field names in the First Field and Last Field attributes to indicate the FIELD occurrence at the beginning and the FIELD occurrence at the end of the contiguous group of fields in the list you are defining to the element.
All fields between the two specified fields, including the designated First Field and Last Field, become components of the element. CA Datacom/DB uses these attribute-values to identify the element. This method eliminates the need to scroll through multiple panels of fields to define an element.
To define a compiler name or assembler name for specific fields, you must scroll through the FILE Maintenance Panel to enter the names on the panel.
Specify the first field in the element. You can enter $FIRST if the FIELD occurrence is the first field in the record or table. Otherwise, enter the FIELD occurrence name.
A FIELD occurrence name
$FIRST if the FIELD occurrence is the first in the record
(No default) if you use this method
Specify the last field in the element. You can enter $LAST if the FIELD occurrence is the last field in the record or table. Otherwise, enter the FIELD occurrence name.
A FIELD occurrence name
$LAST if the FIELD occurrence is the last in the record
(No default) if you use this method
(Optional) If your site uses compiler names that are different from the occurrence names, specify the compiler name for the field within this element.
1- to 30-character compiler name
(No default)
(Optional) If your site uses Assembler names that are different from the occurrence name, specify a name for the field within this element.
1- to 8-character ASSEMBLER name
(No default)
