Description
The Field_Select_State property sets the column's state in the local buffer. It notifies Data Entry Objects (DEOs) if the value of the column has changed. This property is used with checkbox DD column values (Field_CheckBox_Value, Field_CheckBox_Values) to set the state of the column. For example, if a column is defined as a checkbox with Y and N values, you can change the value without having to worry about the underlying Y/N value.

The Field_ version of a message must use the keyword FIELD to identify the Table.Column name. The File_Field_ version must use the keyword FILE_FIELD to identify the Table.Column name. These should never be mixed!
