USER *Current User Name* This field adopts the value of $$USER$$ when used. ExtraView interprets this value as the user ID of the user who is signed on to the current session.

User Fields with Different Display Format

The display format of user fields is globally set using the behavior setting named USER_LIST_DISPLAY. This is set to either a value of LIST or POPUP to determine how all user fields on the user input screens will appear.

You can set an Optional Attribute in the data dictionary for any field with a display type of user. This Optional Attribute is also named USER_LIST_DISPLAY. Setting this to either LIST or POPUP will override the behavior setting, giving you control over the way user's input values into each field with a display type of user.

Note: You should not try to set the attribute of USER_LIST_DISPLAY as a Layout Cell Attribute within the Data Dictionary. This is not supported. You must set the attribute as a global attribute for the field, in the data dictionary.
