Includes item-id in Update processor.

Syntax

u file.reference {attr.name(s)} (i)

Description

includes the item-id of the file being updated in the UP data entry screen.

The item-id appears as the first attribute in the screen, followed by all other defined attributes.

If the item-id is not explicitly requested, it does not appear in the update screen.

The 'i' option can be used on the 'macro' attribute of the file-defining item. See 'macro'.

If the 'i' option is used on the 'output-macro' attribute of the file-defining item, the item is suppressed on output listings.

Example

From TCL the item-id will appear in the update screen:
u entity name address zip (i

From the output-macro on file-defining item the item-id will NOT appear on
output reports.
output-macro definition = name address zip (i
list entity
Produces a listing of name address zip with NO item-ids.
