STRUCTURE STEP7: SELECT OPTION 5 FROM PANEL EDITOR SCREEN (STRUCTURE): NOTE: THIS DIALOG CAN BE USED TO DEFINE AND EDIT THE DATA STRUCTURE THAT WILL BE USED BY THE APPLICATION PROGRAM. THE STRUCTURE IS INDEPENDENT OF THE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE USED IN THE APPLICATION PROGRAM. SDF II USES THIS STRUCTURE WHEN IT GENERATES THE DATA STRUCTURE FOR A PARTICULAR LANGUAGE. VARIABLE FIELDS CAN BE DIVIDED INTO SUBFIELDS. REFER SCREEN - SCREEN (1ST). (1ST).

HOW TO DEFINE ATTRIBUTES TO FIELDS METHOD 2: MAKING USE OF MARKS ALL STEPS ARE THE SAME AS DISCUSSED IN THE ABOVE SCREENS. IF YOU MAKE USE OF MARKS METHOD, THEN DONT USE THE OPTION 4 FROM FROM PANEL EDITOR DIALOG (ATTRIBUTE).
IN STEP4 (FORMAT) WE CAN MAKE USE OF MARKS TO SET ATTRIBUTES TO THE FIELDS. USE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO DEFINE ATTRIBUTES WITH HELP OF MARKS. STEP1: MAKE USE OF OPTION 2 (FORMAT) TO DEFINE THE FORMAT OF THE SCREEN. STEP2: NOW ENTER MARKS ENTER MARKS ON THE COMMAND LINE (AFTER ENTERING INTO FORMAT REGION) AND PRESS ENTER . REFER SCREEN - SCREEN (1ME). (1ME) .
SCREEN (1ME)
STEP3: AFTER ENTERING THE DEFINE MARKS SCREEN, SCREEN , YOU CAN FIND A LIST OF DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES. REFER SCREEN - SCREEN (2ME). (2ME) .
SCREEN (2ME)
HERE YOU CAN ASSIGN YOUR OWN ATTRIBUTES. BACKGRND CAN BE USED TO SET ATTRIBUTES FOR THE BACKGROUND SCREENS EG. TITTLE, FIELD NAMES..ETC. VARIABLE CAN BE USED TO SET ATTRIBUTES FOR THE VARIABLE INPUTS. EG. FIELDS THAT ARE TO BE ENTERED IN THE MAP. 2 BACKGRND TYPE CANNOT BE USED.
FOR MORE INFORMATION MAKE USE OF THE ONLINE REFERENCE IN HELP HELP.. REFER SCREENS- SCREEN (3ME/1/2/3) WHICH SHOWS HOW WE CAN SET NEW VARIABLE TYPE ATTRIBUTE.

WHILE DEFINING THE FIELDS, YOU HAVE TO ENTER THE MARK TYPE THAT YOU HAVE DEFINED IN STEP4, IN MARFIELD MARFIELD.. MARKS USED HERE ARE _ AND % . REFER THE ABOVE SCREEN – SCREEN (4ME). SO YOU CAN SET THE ATTRIBUTES BEFORE, USING THE MARK METHOD , IN THE DEFINE MARKS SCREEN AND USE THE MARK SYMBOL IN THE MAR FIELD OF
