Defining date and time fields

In a view, you can identify to FM/IMS fields that hold date and/or time values. This is done through the Date/Time Attributes panel where you can specify:

• The format used to store the date and time value in the field
• An alternate data type used for date and time processing
• The format used to display the date and time values saved in the field
• Date creation options
• Date/Time scrambling options

To define or change date and time attributes for a field:

1. On the View : Segment Layout panel, enter DT in the Cmd field adjacent to the date/time field.

   The Date/Time Attributes panel is displayed and shows any attributes that may have already been defined for the field.

2. Enter values in the attribute fields that you want to define or change.
