Setting field parameters
Setting field parameters is a useful step in the process of editing a field.
Use the Size edit box to define the length of the field value for integer, float, char and other data types and use Precision to define the precision of the field value, e.g. for float data type.

A code attribute defines the sort sequence to be used for comparing field values. There are four types code attributes:
| • | No code attribute |
The column values have the code attribute defined in the database system.
| • | ASCII |
The column values are stored in ASCII code.
| • | BYTE |
The column values are stored in a code, that is, the column values are not converted by the database system.
| • | UNICODE |

Note: The code can be defined for specific users or globally.
