Specifying Default Field Values

When you create the Report Engine table, be sure to set the initial value of each field to the default value that Report Engine expects. By default, when you create fields in the Data Dictionary, Progress assigns the initial values listed in Table 4–3.

Table 4–3: Data Dictionary Default Initial Field Values 
Field Data Type
Initial Value
CHARACTER
empty string
INTEGER
0
LOGICAL
No

These initial values correspond to the expected Report Engine default values except for the RB-REPORT-LIBRARY and RB-REPORT-NAME fields. Because you must supply a value for both of these fields, Report Engine cannot accept the default value of an empty string.
