USING FORMSPEC TO CREATE AN ARB
Figure 3-29. Restructure ARB Menu
6. Use the fields at the top of the screen to change the order by moving fields or ranges. Press
ENTER to execute all changes.
Options Command
Must state MOVE, ADD, RENAME, or DELETE. DELETE must be spelled out;
the other commands may be abbreviated.
Field or Range
Name(s) or numbers(s) of the field(s). A slash (/) indicates a range: valid for
MOVE or DELETE only. Any field may be deleted.
You can ADD only a single field at a time; it may not already exist on the
ARB and it must conform to FORMSPEC naming rules. You may add a
field that does not exist on the associated form. This "filler" field will have
an ARB default length of 1 byte, and ARB type of CHAR; screen length is
zero and screen type is blank. Fillers are marked with a "+" on the
Restructure ARB Menu.
To RENAME a field, enter the name of an existing field, and enter the new
name of the field in DESTINATION. "Live" fields exist on both form and
ARB; "filler" fields exist on the ARB only. The following defaults apply to
renamed ARB fields:
• Live name changed to live name (new ARB field has corresponding
field on the form): new ARB field length and type derived
algorithmically from the length and type of the corresponding field on
the form.
• Filler name changed to live name (new ARB field has corresponding
field on the form): new ARB field length and type derived
