Global Fields

Fields represent the individual pieces of information in an application. They can appear in windows and be stored in tables. Each field uses a data type to specify its characteristics. Two types of fields are used in applications: global fields and local fields.

• Global fields can be used in window and can also be stored in tables.
• Local fields can be used only in windows. They are described in Adding New Fields.

Information about global fields is divided into the following sections:

• Opening a global field
• Opening a field’s data type
