Can someone help me on the following subject?

Have the following situation:

Added a new table field in a table.
Set an inital value for the new table field in the table definition

When I reorganize table will it fill the new field with the initial value or not?

Kind Regards,

Jan

only when a new record is added. In order to give existing records a value for the field use GTM or exchange or write a session or use Oracle.

In my experience it will not. We use IVc4, other versions may be differrent.

p.s. You could always write a query to fill the field afterward.

Hi,

Looked around and came up with the following solution:

In GTM there is this option "modify rows" with this you can change the value of a field for a range of records. Looks ok.

Kind Regards,

Jan
