Programming Database Field Attributes

Use

The extensions in the implementation program for a database field attribute are located between the macro instructions GET_TABLE_PROPERTY and END_PROPERTY.

Buffering attribute accesses

So that only one access has to be programmed for all attributes that refer to a table, the table is buffered in an internal table. This is generated when an attribute is first accessed from the table in the FORM routine SELECT_TABLE_<TableName>.

If the system then accesses other attributes that refer to this table, it retrieves the information from the internal table and not from the database.
