Non-Adabas Fields

View or edit the following properties for a field in a non-Adabas data map.

Array

Select this option if the field is an array. Arrays are defined in COBOL by using the OCCURS statement. Default is cleared.

If you select this option, also select one of the following options:

Fixed: Select this option if the array is a fixed-length array (OCCURS x). Also enter the array size in the
Array Size
box.
Variable: Select this option if the number of elements in the array varies depending on another field in the record (
OCCURS x DEPENDING ON field-y
). Also enter the array size in the
Array Size
box and the count size in the
Count Field
box.

For VARCHAR fields, select the
Optional Field
check box on the
Name
tab in the
Field Properties
dialog box.
