Edit a Record Attribute
After you create a record attribute, you see the Edit a Record Attribute Specification frame, as shown in the previous figure. The Name field shows the attribute name you entered in the Create a Record Attribute frame.
To edit a record attribute
1. (Optional) Enter a brief description in the Short Remark field. Select LongRemark to enter more details about the attribute on the LongRemark pop-up.
2. In the required Data Type field, enter the name of any record type defined for this application or any
Ingres type.
For help on this field, select the ListChoices menu item. This displays a menu-type list of values from which you can select.
3. Depending on which data type you enter, the next field is either the Array or the Nullable field. For more information, see The Create a Record Attribute Frame.
4. Ensure that all field values are valid. Select End to save the attribute description and exit to the Edit a Record Definition frame.
