About Work Fields Parameters

Work field parameters define work fields for use during report and SELECT/BYPASS processing. Work fields are either report specific or global. A global work field is available to all reports in the run; a report-specific work field is available only to the report for which it is defined.

Uses

Work fields can be defined as numeric or alphanumeric. Numeric work fields are commonly used as either counters or as result fields for arithmetic calculations coded on type 7 and type 8 process parameters. Alphanumeric work fields are commonly used to transfer error messages and labels to output fields coded on type 4, 5, or 6 edit parameters.
