Description

Obsolete

As of version 14.1, the Field_Options and File_Field_Options properties are obsolete and have been replaced with Field_Option and File_Field_Option. The Visual DataDictionary Modeler uses Field_Option and does not recognize or model Field_Options. This message and the following documentation exists for compatibility reasons only.

The File_Field_Options property sets field properties for a database field.

Sample

integer iOptions
get File_Field_Options FILE_FIELD Orderhea.Total to iOptions
get File_Field_Options FILE_FIELD Orderhea.Number to iOptions

File and File_Field Interfaces

Many of the DataDictionary methods contain a two variants of the same message: Field_Message and File_Field_Message. For a complete description of these messages please refer to The Field and File_Field DD Interfaces.

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

// When using Field_ message use the FIELD keyword
get Field_Options FIELD Customer.Name to iOptions

// When using the File_Field_ message use the FILE_FIELD keyword
get File_Field_Options of oCustomer_DD FILE_FIELD Customer.Name to iOptions
