Field Name

Field Names in a Property Sheet have certain characteristics.

The Property Sheet Field Name must begin with an alphabetic character with a maximum of 30 alphabetic characters, numbers, or spaces. It cannot match a database (Oracle or MSSQL) data type name—for example: data, chars, string. If you specify a database data type as a field name, pcmadmin will exit with a core dump.

You can define fields with the same name in different Property Sheets. For example, the CompoundAscii Property Sheet may contain the field name Product, while the Document Object Property Sheet field contains the same name, Product.
