Figure 5-13. Field Menu for TAX_RATE in the TOTALS Form
After you press ENTER at the SUB field, the next Field Menu is the one
for the tax rate (TR) field.
Action
As shown in Figure 5-13, change the name of this field to TAX_RATE for
clarity in subsequent statements. Make it a required field, and give it
the data type NUM2. Since tax rates are fairly stable, assign this field
an initial value of 6.25 for a tax rate of 6 1/4%. Press ENTER.
The data type is R for required rather than D for display-only so that
the user can change the initial tax rate as needed.
