DisplayValue

Saved screen or display value of a SmartDataField. DisplayValue is based on the DataValue. If the keyfield and displayfield are the same, the keyfield value (datavalue) is returned. If they are not the same, then if a reposition source is set, it returns the displayedfield value that is obtained from the SDO. In all other cases it searches the list-item-pairs (or radio-buttons for radio-sets) given the datavalue and will return the display value.

Data type: CHARACTER
