Identify mulitvalue fields from f.version xml files

Hi,I'm new to this forum and I need help identifying multivalue and sub multivalue fields. I know how to do this from the front end, but it's a tedious task to go through each screen and tab. I noticed that f.version XML files are available for each screen. Can someone please advise me on how to identify multivalue and sub multivalue fields, along with their associated sub-fields, from these XML files?

Multi Value Associated Fields: Associated groups of multi-values are defined by setting the third character of the 'F' table to '' for the last associated field.

 

Thanks

Hi
MV and SV fields are defined not on VERSION level but on APPLICATION one. You can check STANDARD.SELECTION record for your application for that - or application dictionary.

About associations - it's defined in the TEMPLATE source code. You can check VERSION fields VAL.ASSOC and SUB.ASSOC but data there might be obsolete (if the source code changed but VERSION record wasn't committed after that).

Thanks VK. It really help.

Also, is there anyway to identify field is radio button or dropdown/combobox. If yes, then where I can find along with values.

Hi
Drop-down - when there's a table to choose values from. See STANDARD.SELECTION. Example (R23 / CUSTOMER):
USR.REL.FILE acts the same way for user fields (local ones etc)

Or - it can be set up in VERSION (DROP.DOWN field with linked ENQUIRY).

Radio buttons: again SS for CUSTOMER:

 

Thank you VK for your quick reply.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm new to T24 and still learning.

I am checking two fields from STANDARD.SELECTION, but struggling to identify whether they are dropdowns or radio buttons.

=========================================
Sys Field Name.62 GENDER
Sys Type.62 D
Sys Field No.62.1 63
Sys Val Prog.62.1 IN2A
Sys Display Fmt.62 35L
Sys Alt Index.62 N
Sys Single Mult.62 S
Sys Lang Field.62 N
Sys Generated.62 Y

==============================================
Sys Field Name.186 ADDRESS.TYPE
Sys Type.186 D
Sys Field No.186.1 165
Sys Val Prog.186.1 IN2A
Sys Display Fmt.186 35L
Sys Alt Index.186 N
Sys Single Mult.186 S
Sys Lang Field.186 N
Sys Generated.186 Y

+==========================================

Also, I want to know is there any link between VERSION and STANDARD.SELECTION.

CUSTOMER,CORP - This VERSION file is for corporate customers. How to identify the corresponding value to check in STANDARD.SELECTION.

Hi
> is there any link between VERSION and STANDARD.SELECTION

Not exactly "link". Consider SS as a dictionary and VERSION as user screen definition. When VERSION is created/updated, some fields are derived from SS.

What's your T24 release?
 

its R22.

Any idea on the below point?

Hi
ADDRESS.TYPE: I see it in R19 but it's NOINPUT. In R23 it doesn't present at all.

GENDER is a radio-button:
 

But how do you identify its Radio button? Which tag value shows its radio button or dropdown?

Thanks

Radio-button: SYS.VAL.PROG / USR.VAL.PROG in SS:
Dropdown - again - summary: SYS.REL.FILE, USR.REL.FILE in SS, DROP.DOWN in VERSION.

What's the purpose of this task ?

Purpose: I am writing test cases for fields. So instead of going to screen level one by one, I thought I could refer to VERSION XML files for fields. However, I am not able to identify the field either the Dropdown or the Radio button.

Refer latest image it does not have any values in SYS.REL.FILE, USR.REL.FILE and in the VERSION file also its not defined as DROP.DOWN but still in the front end it's showing as a dropdown. In that case is there any other way?
Same with the radio button.

I am using R22

Hi
pay attention to SYS.VAL.PROG....
