FIELD-GROUPS

Basic form

FIELD-GROUPS fg.

Effect

Defines a field group.

A field group combines several existing fields together under one name. You use the INSERT statement to determine which fields belong to a field group at runtime.

Example

FIELD-GROUPS: HEADER, ORDER, PRODUCT.

Note

Neither defining a field group (statically) using FIELD-GROUPS nor filling a field group (dynamically) with INSERT generates more memory. Rather, there exists for each field group element a pointer to an (existing) field.
See You cannot define field groups in methods.
