When you generate a COBOL program, the
fillWithNulls build
descriptor option is used when you generate a form group. This option
indicates whether to fill form fields with null characters. The affected
fields have these characteristics:
- The fillCharacter field property is
set to an empty string
- The field is of one of these types: CHAR, DBCHAR, MBCHAR, or NUM
If you have reason to regenerate your text forms and want to retain
the field characteristics that were in effect in EGL versions before
mid 2012, set the following symbolic parameters to NO: ALLOWTUILEFTALIGN,
ALLOWTUISETFORMITEMFULL, and ALLOWTUIFILLWITHNULLS.
Values
- YES (the default value)
- Fill the form fields with null characters.
- NO
- Do not fill the form fields with null characters.
