Field
Attributes

COMMA

Inserts a comma as 1000's separator in numeric fields.
COMMA=Y will print 1,000,000 instead of 1000000.
Remember to adjust the field length accordingly.

CON

Condition - code used to conditionally print a field

DASH

creates line of dashes

DAT

Data Type, see list below

DEC

Decimal Places

FNC

Function
       FST - first value
       MAX - maximum value
       LST - last value
       MIN - minimum value
       CNT - count entries
       AVG - mean value
       TOT - numerical total
       MED - median value
       VAR - variance
       MOD - mode (frequency of occurrence)
       SD  - standard deviation

FONT

Font - B (bold underlined)
       b (bold)
       I (italics underlined)
       i (italics)
       N (normal underlined)
       n (normal)

Note - these are predefined fonts but you can create your own. Just store the printer font command in /R.F subscripted by a unique identifier. I have used it to have a conditional font using FONT=C and in a macro or line check setting the value of /R.F["C"].

To print a field in bold if a query reponse is Y and normal the rest of the time use the FONT=C attribute and this line check on the line where it prints.

LC=IF{@cd.response["QUERY"]="Y" /R.F["b"];/R.F["n"]}^/R.F["C"],1

This also works for changing to a font other than courier but you will likely throw off the spacing for any text to the right of the field. You just need to store the printer command for the font you want to use in your own /R.F variable.

GRP

Group Response Dictionary link

GRP=MY.GROUP will provide a lookup and only allow responses from a group response dictionary called MY.GROUP. The report writer does this by adding an ID.ARG attribute which points to the group response dictionary. This creates the possibility of have different lookups for different users. How? Build several group reponse dictionaries and then add the GRP attribute referencing one of them so the ID.ARG gets created. Edit the ID.ARG attribute so that is references a variable rather than the group. Then add an IFE or BFI attribute that sets the value of the variable to different groups based on whatever criteria you want.

Example - provide one lookup for RN's and a different one for everyone else
Create 2 groups - one MY.RN.GRP with the choices an RN should have and another MY.NRN.GRP with the choices everyone else should have.
Add GRP=MY.RN.GRP attribute
Assuming user id's for RN's start with RN and NA's start with NA add this IFE attribute -
IFE=IF{/.USR$2="RN" "MY.RN.GRP";"MY.NRN.GRP"}^GRP,1
Then replace the "MY.RN.GRP" with GRP in the ID.ARG attribute.

This example uses user id but you could also base it on a query response or the input from another selection field or the day of the week, whatever you want.

ID.AS

Links an xx.field to a standard field. This can allow a lookup on an xx field in some cases.
For instance on an ADM report to provide a lookup on a custom field to the doctor dictionary you could add this
ID.AS=attend.phys

MPAFV

MPHUL

PG.RESET

PRT

Print - PRT=N will make the field not print but any code in the VAL statement will still be evaluated.

RLOG

Report Logic

SIZE

font size - S,M,L,XL, or numeric

SUB

?????

TRUNC

Truncate - TRUNC=N will allow you to print more than characters in a 30 character field when used in conjunction with the SIZE=S attribute.

VAL

Value

WITH

With - only used in conjunction with FNC=TOT

BFIn

Performs field check after DFT2 and IFE but before user input

CH

Choice - CH=ONE,TWO,THREE will display a lookup of ONE, TWO and THREE and only allow for one of those to be entered.

DAT

Data Type - See list below

DFT2

Default - works the same as it does for CDS

FCLn

Field Check - works the same as it does for CDS

HLP

ID

ID - Program used to provided a look-up and restrict user selection.

ID.ARG

ID Argument

IFE

Controls whether the cursor will stop at a selection prompt. Works the same as it does for CDS. Be sure not to use REQ=Y or REQI=Y if the IFE attribute is not going to allow the cursor to stop for user input.

JFY

Justification - L (left), R (right), C (center)

LEN

MAP

Map, converts user input and keywords to another value such as ALL to D(127)

PRE

Performs logic on the input before field checks are done

REQ

Required  - REQ=N or REQ=Y

REQI

Required Immediately - REQI=N or REQI=Y
