A Value’s Default Representation
If you do not use a VIEW–AS phrase with a variable or database field, Progress displays it as a fill-in that can be made into a CHOOSE field and that, when disabled, loses the border decoration typical of fill-ins in the Windows graphical environment. The same is true if you specify simply VIEW–AS FILL–IN.
However, if you specify VIEW–AS FILL–IN NATIVE, Progress displays a fill-in that is more characteristic of graphical environments: the fill-in cannot be made into a CHOOSE field, and it does not lose its border decoration when it is disabled.
