Assign a row search ID to report fields and bars
To complete the definition of data for a field or bar, you must assign a row search ID to the
field/bar. Use the following steps to do this.
Note:
If a field already has an assigned row search ID (for example, a field that is
part of a design you have copied), you must first remove the existing row
search ID assignment. See
Changing the row search-field assignment
on
page 105.
1. On Screen Painter, place the cursor on a field to which you want to assign a row
search ID. To assign a row search ID to several fields at one time, place the cursor in a
position from which you can define an appropriate block.
2. Select the
Row search
action list option.
The Row Search window is displayed.
3. Enter the wanted row search ID and select the
