Copying a Field

Follow these steps to copy a field from one table to another table in the working database:

  1. Choose Schema Field Editor. Progress alphabetically lists all the tables defined for your database.
  2. Select the table to which you want to copy the field. Progress lists all the fields defined for the selected table.
  3. Choose the Copy option from the menu at the bottom of the window.
  4. Select the table from which you want to copy the field. Progress alphabetically lists all the fields defined for that table.
  5. Select the fields you want to copy, then press GO. Progress copies the selected fields into the table you selected in Step 2 and returns you to the Field Editor.
  6. Choose Exit to apply the change. Progress displays an alert box asking if you want to apply or undo the changes to the database, or if you want to make other changes.
  7. Choose Apply Changes. Progress returns you to the Data Dictionary main window.
