Display formats you assign to a column in the Database painter are used by default when you place the column in a DataWindow object. You can override the default format in the DataWindow painter by choosing another format from the extended attribute system tables or defining an ad hoc format for one specific column.
About computed fields
You can assign display formats to computed fields using the
same techniques as for columns in a table.
To specify a display format for a column in the DataWindow painter:
In the DataWindow painter, move the pointer to the column, select Properties from the column's pop-up menu, and then select Format in the Behavior category.
Enter an appropriate format for the column. For more information, see “Defining display formats”.
