Edit patterns dictate the output format of a field (for example the preferred format for a date field) on a display or report.
Use consistent edit patterns for fields containing the same information. In a system with part numbers, for example, one designer might cause a part number to be displayed as “123456789,” while another might format it as 12-34567/89. Such inconsistency could lead to confusion.
CA Gen supports the maintenance of standard edit patterns to help enforce consistency throughout a system.
