Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Basic Development

Viewers

The AppBuilder allows use of both static and dynamic SBOs when you select fields for dynamic viewers. The AppBuilder will create DataField instances for the viewer when it is saved. DataField names for SBOs include the name of the SDO that is the data source for the field and use this format:

<SdoInstanceName>.<FieldName>

As an exception, and to promote reuse, if a viewer only contains SBO DataFields from a single SDO, then the SDO name does not need to prefix the field names.

Note: To generate a viewer for an SBO, use the AppBuilder, not the Object Generator.
