External Pictures

Access mode: CA OLQ does not use external pictures associated with the desired record in the dictionary when the access switch is set to IDMS.

You can use IDD to define external pictures for specific report fields. By defining external pictures in the dictionary, each user can generate meaningful reports without formatting the report fields each time the report is generated.

Use the IDD RECORD ELEMENT substatement:

REMOVE/REPLACE RECORD ELEMENT ...
EXTERNAL PICTURE IS picture/NULL
