Field Column Headings

You can specify field column headings for fields in the dictionary (attributes HEADING‑1 and HEADING‑2). However, headings longer than 20 characters are truncated to 20 characters in the CA Ideal cataloged dataview. PDF uses the field column headings specified in the dictionary for dynamically generated panel fields. They are also used in CA Ideal reports unless overridden by RDF.

Note: CA Ideal uses a not‑sign () as the begin‑line character in report headings. For more information, see the Generating Reports Guide.
