Form fields (sometimes called form objects) are elements in forms that contain values. Fields are defined for a form using the ABF FormEdit operation. 4GL lets you load, examine and change the values in simple and table fields.

Simple fields, table fields, and derived fields are defined at the time you create the form using the ABF FormEdit operation. For information and directions for creating fields for use in your applications, see the Character-based Querying and Reporting Tools User Guide.
