Ü  DFT(Default)

·         DFT keyword is used to display the default value on the screen.

·         It’s a field level keyword.

·         If we want to display a constant field then there is no need of mentioning the DFT keyword, it not a mandatory keyword in this case.

·         The syntax for displaying a constant field on the screen is:

DFT(‘constant value’)

Or,

‘Constant value’

·         For input type field, the value mentioned with the DFT keyword is displayed as a default value on the screen; every time the screen is displayed.

·         For output capable and input/output capable fields, we must specify the keyword PUTOVR at the record level and OVRDTA at the field level with the DFT keyword.

·         The DFT keyword is not valid on decimal fields.

Example

>>> Using DFT for constant field

  A                                  5 25DFT('ACC')
  Or,
  A                                  5 25'ACC'

>>> Using DFT for input field
