Namespace: ASNA.QSys.Expo.Model Assembly: ASNA.QSys.Expo.Model.dll

Inheritance: Object –> Attribute

Remarks

IBM i Displayfiles allows the designer to specify metadata (via keywords) on fields that describe how fields should interact with user. For example, DDS allows th indicate that a particular field on a records should be protected from input, conditioned to a particular option indicator.

For example, the following DDS specifications define field SITMNBR (in Record format ORDLINE), where not only does it describe the type and length of the display field, but the fact that when Indicator 88 is On, the field should be protected from input (aka read-only).

0076.00     A            SITMNBR        9Y 0B  3 15                                    000000
0078.00     A  88                                  DSPATR(PR)                          000000

Razor syntax nor HTML syntax use the concept of Indicators. Fields in Expo may include attributes, such as Protect (indicated below), that complete the specification.

public class ORDLINE_Model : RecordModel
{
    .
    .
    .

    [Dec(9, 0, Protect = "88")]
    public decimal SITMNBR { get; set; }

   .
   .
   .
}
