Hi,

Can someone help us in the following case:
I want to change the type of a local ref field at validation routine level from INPUT TO NOINPUT
noting that if you want to change the type of a system field you write the following code:
T(AA.ARR.ACT.REASON)<3> = 'NOINPUT';
where REASON is the field we want to change its status and is the prefix of the application

For LocalField the syntax is

T.LOCREF<position.of.field,7> = 'NOINPUT'

see also I_RULES :
* T.LOCREF = FIELD 1 =
* Value Field 1 = like F(x) = Description =
* from 'F.LOCAL.TABLE' field SHORT.NAME (Description
* may start with 'XX.', 'XX<', 'XX-', 'XX>' to
* define sub value fields)
* Value Field 2 = like N(x) = Numbers =
* from 'F.LOCAL.TABLE' field MAXIMUM.CHAR and
* MINIMUM.CHAR
* Value Field 3 = like T(x) = Type =
* from 'F.LOCAL.TABLE' field CHAR.TYPE
* When Vetting Table:
* Value Field 4 = 'Y'
* Value Field 5 = ID of LOCAL.REF-file
* When no Vetting Table:
* Value Field 4 = APPLICATION =
* from 'F.LOCAL.TABLE' field APPLICATION.VET (Input
* must be an ID of APPLICATION)
* Value Field 5 = No. of Field for Enrichment =
* from 'F.LOCAL.TABLE' field APPL.ENRICHM.FIELD
* Value Field 6 = 'Y' for autom. defaults, "" otherwise
* Value Field 7 = 'NOCHANGE' for NOCHANGE definition,
* = 'NOINPUT' for NOINPUT definition, "" otherwise
* Field 2 = next sequence = like field 1
* etc.

Hi
would we need to update R.VERSION as well to add new NOINPUT field there?

Hi Jpb,

I want to make a local field to no expand property, after assigning the value using chk rec rtn.

Kindly suggest me an optimal way to achieve it .

Thanks,
