Title: Get the description of a custom field
Post by: cbyrne on 03 Oct 2011 08:54:59 AM
Hello, does anyone know how to get the description of a custom attribute field.  I have created a custom field with a code and description, below is the data item where i can get the code entry from this field but i cannot get the description.


REPCUSTOMATTRIB([OBJ_CODE],'*','RMP418','OBJ','R5')

RMP418 is my field, i tried soemthing like the below, but this just came up with a ? in the column.

REPGETDESC('EN', 'UCOD','RMP418', 'OBJ','R5')


Many Thanks

Chris
