Display a list of all data dictionary fields and their title

SYNOPSIS

evfields [-r | -g]

DESCRIPTION

This command displays a list of all fields in the ExtraView. The field names are displayed in two columns. The first column is the field’s fixed database name, the second column is the field’s display title.

The field names are alphabetized by display titles. When the -r option is used, the fixed database names and display titles are separated by a colon instead of a tab, and the list is not alphabetized. Additionally, one or more characters may precede the field name with their meaning as follows:

Character Meaning
* This indicates the field can span multiple lines when being input
~ This indicates that the field is a member of a repeating record
% This indicates that the field has a display type of user
^ This indicates that the field supports multiple values
+ This is a field with a display type of multi-value list

The -g option generates two identical files named get.txt and search.txt, which may be used by the evget and evsearch commands, respectively. These files are saved in the directory where the CLI commands are stored, if the user has write access to that directory.

If the user does not have write access to that directory, the files are saved in the users home directory as defined by the environment variable, . The -g option will be ignored if the -r option is used.

These files contain only the fixed database names, and names are not capitalized in these files. This does not have any functional effect; it is just a different format. The last line of these two files is a line containing, __END__. When evget or evsearch read these files, they will ignore this line and anything after it.

NOTES

This command displays field names independent of any layouts. As such, the concept of required fields does not exist in this command. To see which commands are required on the add screen or edit screen, use the command evaddlist –r or eveditlist –r, respectively, and look for lines beginning with a plus sign (+).
