Standalone Fields

Standalone fields allow you to define individual work fields. A standalone field has the following characteristics:

• It has a specifiable internal data type
• It may be defined as an array, table, or field
• It is defined in terms of data length, not in terms of absolute byte positions.

For more information on standalone fields, see:
