Use the TYPE subcommand with the FIELD command to indicate how the field is defined in the Master Properties Configuration Set or in the USRPROPS.TXT file if you made changes applicable to the field in that
The structure of the statement is:
FIELD field-identifier { TYPE [ CHARACTER | NUMERIC | BOOLEAN | MEMO | DATE | TIME ] }
Example
FIELD "Amount Paid" { TYPE NUMERIC }
This example identifies the amount paid field as a numeric field. Fields that have a property with a range should use the character type.
