SYS_FIELDS : DataType, EditStyle and Usage and do they influence the FullSearch Method?

Fri, 19 Jan 2018 10:59:13 +0000

Dear all,

I would like to know what are all the letters in Datatype, Usage and EditStyle are used for, some on them I know, but for other I don't. And is there any combinations that are forbidden in Efficy ?

And most important are the EditStyle influencing the Full Search Method ? I ask that question because 2 fields in a customer database araise error when searching using the Full Search Method. Those 2 fields are of DATAYPE = I, Usage = R and EDITStyle = K .. I checked with standard fields with DataType = I and Usage = R and the only difference I saw was on Edit Style which was = L.
The issue is that those 2 fields are considered like "string fields" in the FullSearch Method.
PS : we are using Efficy 10 R7987

EditStyle I found in Effiy :
U = ?
P = ?
K = AlphaNumerical Lookup (I think)
M = Memo
C = Currency (I think)
J = Lookup with search (I think)
A = ?
E = Edit Box (I think)
L = Standard HTML Lookup
G = ?

DataType I found in Efficy:
H
I = Integer
D = Date
M = Memo
? = ???
A = Alphanumeric
B = Boolean
C = Currency (float)
T = ?
N = Numerical (float)
L = Lookup by Key (Integer)
S = Small Integer

Usage I found in Efficy:
EMPTY (' ') > ?
V = ?
R = Lookup by key (I think)
P = Virtual fields calling an SQL Function (I think)
K = Key of a table
Q = ?
C = Calculated : the calculation rule in RULETEXT column (I think)
L = Alphanumerical Lookup (I think)
