Field Summary Table

The Field Summary Table enters basic information about each field, such as field name, screen attributes, field type and length, the number of integer and decimal places, number of occurrences, and comments. The Field Summary Table is the only place where you can define a repeating field. See the section titled Defining Repeating Fields and Groups in this chapter.

To display the Field Summary Table shown in the following illustration, enter the SUMMARY command or press the PF9 key.
