Are there reserved words in APPX?
The ILF editor uses the following logic (merely as a convenience for the designer) when you enter a fieldname and application ID:
1) If the given field is defined within the specified application, the statement remains unchanged by the editor.
2) If the given field is not defined within the specified application, but a field of the same name is defined in application 0LA (PDF’s), the editor changes the application ID to ---.
3) If the given field is not defined in the specified application and is not found in application ---, the ILF editor throws a warning (or an error in earlier releases).
There is a bug in 4.1.a that changes the application ID to --- for any field that is also defined in 0LA. This bug has been fixed in release 4.2.
Here is the text on this from the APPX Application Design Manual (01/13/03), chapter 4-4: The ILF Editor:
The editor may display some default field values that you are likely to use, such as the application ID. You can override these defaults by entering the desired values or by entering spaces. When you enter a field name, APPX automatically searches for that name in the specified application's data dictionary. If it finds the specified field, it leaves the application ID as is. If it does not find the field, it next searches for the field in the runtime application's data dictionary (where all predefined fields are defined). If it finds the specified field, APPX automatically changes the application ID to "---" to signify the runtime application. If it does not find the field in either place, the editor provides an error message.
What should the field "CDF Path & File" on the Comma Delimited Update screen contain?
