Changing User-Defined Fields in the FDT

You can change the values of user-defined fields by entering the TSS REPLACE command function shown below.

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

FDTNAME: Contains an up to eight-character user-defined field in the FDT Record whose values can be removed or changed using the TSS REPLACE command function, and allows one field-name per command that can be a letter, number, or special character. You must use at least one one of the keywords that are described on the following page to modify a value of a user-defined field.
SEGMENT: Changes a specific segment that contains a group of fields. Specify one segment-name per command, that can be a letter, number, or special character. You cannot modify user-defined fields to predefined segments. For a list of the predefined CA Top Secret segments, refer to Defining New Fields to the FDT.
MAXLEN: Changes the number of bytes that can be used for the user-defined field, and allows one MAXLEN value per command. The total of all user-defined fields should not exceed 32,767 bytes.
DISPLAY: Changes an up to 11-character display-name that is associated with a particular field and segment in the FDT Record, and allows one display-name per command that can be a letter, number, or special character. The display-name should be enclosed in single quotes if it contains blanks.
