APPLICATIONS MAKER - HELP FOR DATE ITEMS
The DATE items allow the processing of STRING data formatted for the
storage of dates. The DATA ITEMS can be of four types: ENTRY, READ,
AUTO-FILL and STATIC.
ENTRY: With the ENTRY type your user enters the date.
READ: With the READ type the date is read into item from relational
file. Before reads can be done records in the relational files must
be identified and found on the basis of KEYS. Help is available for
KEYS within the STRING data type.
AUTO-FILL: With the AUTO-FILL type the computer date is placed in
the item. You will have the option to format the computer date in
standard or military formats.
STATIC: With the STATIC type the item is left alone. It is usually
the target of a string formula.
