Transform for Display |
 |
FileMan uses this transform only
during lookup.
The contents of this transform should
be M code that sets the variable X to a new value. X is the only variable that
is guaranteed to be defined and is equal to the value of the subscript from the
index.
TRANSFORM FOR DISPLAY should be set
only for an index value that has been transformed using the code in the
TRANSFORM FOR STORAGE prior to storing the value in the index.
The code should take the internal
value from the index subscript X, and convert it back to a format that can be
displayed to an end user. During lookup, if a match or matches are made to a
lookup value that was transformed using the TRANSFORM FOR LOOKUP code on this
index, then FileMan will execute the TRANSFORM FOR DISPLAY code before
displaying the index value(s) to the end user. |
