Description

The SET HIDDENFIELD TO <expC> command allows you to specify the character that will be displayed in hidden fields. Hidden fields are fields that are not visible to users for the purpose of disallowing read or write privileges. Fields are defined as hidden in the Application Data Dictionary (ADD). The ADD may be accessed from the CREATE or MODIFY STRUCTURE work surfaces where the <PROTECTION> menu contains the <HIDDEN> option for defining fields as hidden. Access to this option can be disabled from the ADMIN option from the <SECURITY> menu in the CREATE or MODIFY STRUCTURE work surfaces. Using the SET HIDDENFIELD TO command without specifying a character <expC> returns the character to the default (’?’).

Example

set hiddenfield to ’#’
