About displaying and validating data

When Sybase WorkSpace generates a basic DataWindow object, it uses the extended attributes defined for the data and stored in the extended attribute system tables.

In the Enterprise Explorer, you can create the extended attribute definitions that specify a column's display format, edit style, and validation rules.

In the DataWindow editor, you can override these extended attribute definitions for a column in a DataWindow object. These overrides do not change the information stored with the column definition in the extended attribute system tables.
