Chapter 9 Extending Report Table Attributes : Task B: Define and Display Attributes

Task B: Define and Display Attributes
This task is used to define and display the attributes for a single field or literal, or modify an existing field definition. Using the Expand screen you can modify all the attributes that appear in the field definition area of the Report Table Painter screen, except for Blank and Derived.
You cannot modify an existing literal definition. The modifications you make on this screen override values specified in the Report Table Painter screen. They are reflected on the Report Table Painter screen when you press PF3.
Invoking the Expand Screen
To invoke the Expand screen, position the cursor on the field to which you are adding additional information and press PF15. Position the cursor in either the image area or the field definition area. For more information about the Expand screen, refer to Expanding Definitions of Individual Fields.
