2.2 Creating a New Record

Assume you need to create a new record to contain the DDS record for the Customer Inquiry window. In this lesson, you will first delete the existing FMT01 record and then you will recreate the record using the CODE Designer.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select the DDS record, FMT01, located on the right-hand side of the CODE Designer window.
  2. Right-click on the FMT01 record and select Delete from the pop-up menu.
  3. In a blank area of the CODE Designer window, right click and select Insert record > Standard.
  4. Right-click on RECORDx (where x is a number), and select Properties. A properties notebook appears.
  5. Enter the name FMT01 in Record and Customer Inquiry for the Description.

    When you enter the information in any property notebook, the changes are automatically executed. The name of the record is changed in the CODE Designer.

  6. Close the notebook.
  7. In order to revert back to the original file at a later time, we will create a "snapshot" of the file. Select File from the menu bar, then Make checkpoint.
  8. Type a description for this checkpoint. For example, type in First record creation.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Click on to indicate that you've done all the steps.
