   This screen displays the following fields:

   Field Name

   Identifies the field level number and field name with indentation to indicate the hierarchy of the fields.

   The indentation rules for this column are as follows:

   • The indentation will be 2 as long as the entire name of each field fits within the space provided.
   • The indentation will be 1 if the previous point is not true and the entire name of each field fits within the space provided.
   • The indentation will be 0 if both the previous points are not true.
   • Table index values will overwrite the rightmost characters of the field name if the field name and table index values cannot fit in the space provided.

   Pos

   Identifies the field's starting position.

   Format

   Identifies the data-type indicator followed by either the number of digits or characters allowed for the field as defined by the field definition.

   Valid data-type indicators are:

   B—Binary C—Alphanumeric F—Floating point

   N—Any numeric field P— Packed S— Signed

   Len

   Identifies the length of the field in bytes.

   Note: For packed or binary numeric fields, this value is not equal to the number of digits.
