.81,41 FIELDS DEFINED BY THIS TYPE 41;0 Multiple #.81215
DESCRIPTION: This multiple field list all fields in this database that point to this DATA TYPE. These are not
editable here. The values are stuffed automatically when a field using this DATA TYPE is created
under 'MODIFY FILE ATTRIBUTES'.
WRITE AUTHORITY: ^

.81,101 PROPERTY 101;0 POINTER Multiple #.81101
DESCRIPTION:
This multiple lists all the PROPERTIES that specify what this DATA TYPE does.
.81101,.01 PROPERTY 0;1 POINTER TO DATA TYPE PROPERTY FILE (#.86) (Multiply asked) (audited)
INPUT TRANSFORM: S DINUM=X
LAST EDITED: SEP 13, 2015
HELP-PROMPT: Select a PROPERTY that needs to have a VALUE for this DATA TYPE.
DESCRIPTION: Existing PROPERTY names should only be edited with great care. A PROPERTY is a string or number
that defines something about the Data Type.
AUDIT: YES, ALWAYS
NOTES: XXXX--CAN'T BE ALTERED EXCEPT BY PROGRAMMER

INPUT TRANSFORM: K:+X'=X!(X>99.9)!(X<1)!(X?.E1"."2N.N) X
LAST EDITED: SEP 13, 2015
HELP-PROMPT: Type a Number between 1 and 99.9, 1 Decimal Digit
DESCRIPTION:
Enter the relative order in which FileMan should prompt for this property at field creation.
AUDIT: YES, ALWAYS
CROSS-REFERENCE: .81101^AC
1)= S ^DI(.81,DA(1),101,"AC",$E(X,1,30),DA)=""
2)= K ^DI(.81,DA(1),101,"AC",$E(X,1,30),DA)
This cross reference allows sorting PROPERTIES by the ORDER in which they should be presented.
.81101,10 PROMPT? 10;E1,245 MUMPS (audited)
INPUT TRANSFORM: K:$L(X)>245 X D:$D(X) ^DIM
LAST EDITED: SEP 13, 2015
HELP-PROMPT: This is Standard MUMPS code.
DESCRIPTION: Enter MUMPS code that sets $T. If $T evaluates to TRUE, then FileMan will prompt for this
property when a field of this Data Type is created. A null value is equivalent to "I 1".
AUDIT: YES, ALWAYS

.81101,31 VALUE 31;E1,245 FREE TEXT (audited)
INPUT TRANSFORM: K:$L(X)>245!($L(X)<1) X
LAST EDITED: SEP 13, 2015
HELP-PROMPT: Enter the string that will become the default value for this PROPERTY, 1 to 245 characters.
DESCRIPTION: This value will be inserted into the definition of fields defined by this Data Type Property.
For a PROPERTY like FIELD LENGTH, the VALUE will be a number. For a PROPERTY like SET OF CODES,
the VALUE will be a string (like "1:TRUE;0:FALSE")
AUDIT: YES, ALWAYS
.81101,33 DEFAULT VALUE PROMPTED 33;E1,245 FREE TEXT (audited)
INPUT TRANSFORM: K:$L(X)>245!($L(X)<1) X
LAST EDITED: SEP 29, 2016
HELP-PROMPT: Enter the string that will show as the expected value (internal form) for this PROPERTY, 1 to 245
characters.
DESCRIPTION: This field should have a value only if, when a new FileMan field is being created (MODIFY FILE
ATTRIBUTES), the PROPERTY should be prompted with a default. For example, if a true/false
PROPERTY normally takes a 'NO' value, then this field has the value '0', which is usually the
internal form of 'NO'.
AUDIT: YES, ALWAYS
.81,201 METHOD 201;0 POINTER Multiple #.81201
DESCRIPTION:
This multiple lists all the METHODS that specify what this DATA TYPE does.
.81201,.01 METHOD 0;1 POINTER TO DATA TYPE METHOD FILE (#.87) (Multiply asked) (audited)
INPUT TRANSFORM: S DINUM=X
LAST EDITED: SEP 13, 2015
HELP-PROMPT: Select a METHOD that needs to have MUMPS code for this DATA TYPE.
DESCRIPTION:
This step allows a programmer to change the name of or specify the METHOD.
AUDIT: YES, ALWAYS
NOTES: XXXX--CAN'T BE ALTERED EXCEPT BY PROGRAMMER
CROSS-REFERENCE: .81201^B
