You can define a code table as a property of the following column edit styles:
Edit
DropDownListBox
RadioButtons
DropDownDataWindow
EditMask, using spin control
The steps to specify the code table property for each edit style are similar: you begin by defining a new edit style in the Database painter. Once you select an edit style, use the specific procedure that follows to define the code table property.
For how to create an edit style, see “About edit styles”.
Allowing NULL values
An internal PowerBuilder code, NULL!, indicates null values
are allowed. To use this code, specify NULL! as the data value,
then specify a display format for nulls for the
column.
