Does anyone have a way to change the name of a segment when holding a FOCUS file? The default is SEG01, SEG02...SEGnn. I would like to code a custom name for each segment, such as SEG01='Region' and SEG02='Product', SEG03='Item', etc. I don't want to edit the MFD because the fields in the master could change. Thanks.This message has been edited.

The only way I can think of doing this is to write the MASTER file out and MODIFY the record into the FOCUS file. Waz...

Yea, Waz, I thought of that too but I was hoping for a more direct solution, e.g. BY COUNTRY SEG01 AS 'Country' BY CAR SEG02 AS 'Car' Thanks! current client: WF 8.1.05 & 8.2 - Windows 7 64bit - Tomcat 7 - MRE / BID - IE11 local: WF 8.2 - Windows 7 64bit - Tomcat 6 - MRE / BID - FOCUS - IE11 PMF 8 | |||

... or build your own version on the fly by interrogating the SYSCOLUM table. Everything you need is there and changing one element such as the segname should be easy. I've done this before so if I can locate the code (some hope!) I'll share. Incidentally, why do you want "nice" segnames? Just curious ...  Is it for segment lists in IA or something?T

Yes, the customer is looking for something meaningful for their users in IA. Is it possible to edit/update SYSCOLUMN from WF? current client: WF 8.1.05 & 8.2 - Windows 7 64bit - Tomcat 7 - MRE / BID - IE11 local: WF 8.2 - Windows 7 64bit - Tomcat 6 - MRE / BID - FOCUS - IE11 PMF 8 | |||

Wouldn't recommend it!! Try using code to build what you want and then overwrite the one in your app folder - then see if SYSCOLUM has been updated? T

How about using a Business View to make it look nice and neat for the users? That way you can things whatever you want and they don't see the underlying Master elements. | ||

That's the ticket, Emily! I hide the foclist fields and added descriptions to the segments. Then I put the master where it won't be overwritten. Thanks, all, for the good suggestions. current client: WF 8.1.05 & 8.2 - Windows 7 64bit - Tomcat 7 - MRE / BID - IE11 local: WF 8.2 - Windows 7 64bit - Tomcat 6 - MRE / BID - FOCUS - IE11 PMF 8 | |||
