EM, HD, PM Parameters for Field/Variable

(

EM=value
EMU=value

[HD='text'] [PM=value])

For an explanation of the symbols used in the syntax diagram, see Syntax Symbols.

The emhdpm option is used to define additional parameters to be in effect for a field/variable.

Note:
If for a database field you specify neither an edit mask (EM= or EMU=) nor a header (HD=), the default edit mask and default header as defined in the data definition module (DDM) will be used. However, if you specify one of the two, the other's default from the DDM will not be used.
