Fields
The system fields compose the Microsiga Protheus® Data Dictionary. All and any field of this dictionary can, in a way, be used in the composition of formula.
Example:
The employees' data storing table is SRA - Employee Register.
Fields composing this file are displayed in a screen under a title:
| • | Name |
| • | Registration |
| • | Salary |
However, these fields are codified to identify them within the Data Dictionary.
Therefore, Salary field equals RA_SALARIO, where:
| • | RA_ = corresponds to table SRA, and indicates that this field belongs to table SRA - Employees file |
| • | SALARIO = corresponds to field informing employee's salary |
Therefore, system understands that RA_SALARIO is the SRA table field including the employee's salary.
In this syntax, the fields must be informed in the formula composition as in the following model:
Type |
Result |
Operator 1 |
1st Expression |
Operator 2 |
2nd Expression |
Operator 3 |
Execution |
nSalTot |
+= |
SRA->RA_SALARIO |
|
|
.END. |
