This keyword causes Adabas Pre-Compiler to generate the format buffer and the search buffer with the length and format of all the fields. It may be used when there is a difference between the field definition in Predict and the FDT. This keyword also causes Adabas Pre-Compiler to separate groups into their elementary fields in the format buffer.

This is not done for the periodic group, because the periodic group is automatically separated when the file name specified in the @ADADCL is of a userview type.
