Rename a Column

By default, Data Access Studio names columns based on their JDE Data Dictionary description. You can, however, override this caption and change it to whatever you wish.

To	Do this
Rename a column	Right-click the Column Header. Select Rename. Type a new name and click OK. You can press the button to see parameters and variables that you can also use in your column header. For instance, let's say you had a column that shows period amounts and the user can enter different period amounts via a parameter. Then, if you select the period amount parameter tag in the Column name, as the period numbers changes, the column header will change too! Parameter tags are in the form of: <tag>. You can place the tag anywhere in your column header. For instance: Current Period <Period>.
Change the column caption to pre-set value	See Column Caption in the Customize the Look and Colors of Your Layout topic.
