- 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.
