Creating Field-Level Help

Summary of Steps

To create field-level help, perform the following steps which are described in detail on the following pages:

Create and store the text for the message in IDD
Associate that text with the field using either the online map compiler, MAPC, or the batch compiler, RHDCMAP1. An example using MAPC follows:
- Access the layout screen
- Select the appropriate field
- Use the Field-level Help Text Definition screen to specify the name of the help load module and text module
Compile the map
Optionally, you can test the results using the DC/UCF system task, SHOWMAP.
