Columns Specification Maintenance Fields
The following fields appear in the Columns Specification Maintenance window:
Columns ID
A 16-character identifying name for a set of columns associated with a
specific report.
Description
A 40-character string that describes the column ID.
Report
An eight-character string defining the name of the report to which the
column ID pertains.
Column Number
The column number to which the column ID pertains.
First Screen Byte
The first byte (aka column) on the screen to start a window. When this
field is set to 70, Length is set to 10, and Data Byte is set to 110, a
window will start in column 70 and display columns 110 through 120 of
the report. Hence, on a terminal which displays only 80 columns at a time,
you can now see the left portion of the report, plus columns 110 through
120 rather than columns 70 through 80.
First Data Byte
The first data byte (aka column) in the report to display in a window.
When this field is set to 50 and the Length field is set to 20, columns 50
through 70 in the report are displayed in the window.
Column Length
The number of characters displayed per line in a window.
