Define a Record Attribute
From the Edit a Record Type Definition catalog frame, shown in the Edit a Record Type Definition catalog frame figure, specify the attributes of the record type you have created.
To define a record attribute
1. From the Edit a Record Type Definition frame, select Create. This displays the Create a Record Attribute frame, shown in the previous figure.
2. In the required Name field, enter a name for the attribute. This cannot be the name of another attribute for this record.
3. In the required Data Type field, enter the name of any record type defined for this application or an 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.
4. 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 section.
5. You can optionally enter and modify the Short Remark field here.
6. Select OK to create the attribute. You see the Edit a Record Attribute Specification frame.
