Modify Values in the FDT Record

You can modify an existing user defined field to change its characteristics.

Use the replace command to change the FDT fields.

To change the characteristics of user-defined fields, enter the command:

TSS REPLACE(FDT) FDTNAME(field-name) 
                 SEGMENT(segment-name) 
                 MAXLEN(nn) 
                 DISPLAY(display-name)

Example: modify existing fields

This example changes the maximum length for the HPHONE field from 12 to 14 bytes:

TSS REPLACE(FDT) FDTNAME(HPHONE) MAXLEN(14)
