Field_Name
The name of the column.
Supported By
- SQL Drivers (SQL Server, DB2, and ODBC)
Value
The name of the column as reported by DataFlex.
Associated Attribute
DF_FIELD_NAME (String)
Remarks
This keyword is generally used to set up overlapping column names. It can also be used to set up a different name for the DataFlex environment from the name at the server.
There are column names that are legal at the SQL data source but not in DataFlex. If you want to access a table with such a column, use the Field_Name keyword to set it to a legal DataFlex name. An example of this type of name would be File_Number, which is a legal name in most SQL environments but is not legal in DataFlex.
Note
Overlap columns were replaced by multi-segment relationships in DataFlex 11.0 and are now obsolete.
