Define Progress Column Display Format

The display format controls how data appears in Progress applications.

Follow these steps:

  1. To access the Progress Display Format Editor, open the Progress Table Column Editor and go to the Progress tab. Click New New icon in property editors to create a new object or click Display Format Editor Button.
  2. Enter a name for the display format in the Name column.
  3. Enter a value for the display format in the Value column.

    For example, dd-mmm-yy displays a date value as 01-May-14. For CHAR(n) data types, if you do not specify a format, the format is automatically generated as X(n), where n is the number of characters defined in the data type.

  4. (Optional) Click the Comment tab and enter any comments that you want to associate with the object.
  5. (Optional) Click the UDP tab to work with user-defined properties for the object.
  6. (Optional) Click the Notes tab to view and edit user notes.
  7. (Optional) Click the Extended Notes tab to view or edit user notes.
  8. Click Close.

    The display format is saved and the dialog is closed.
