AFAIK, you will need to have the DEFINEd field exist IN the source table with its description included from there and not DEFINEd in the fex.

But maybe this functionnlaity does exist

You can see the DEFINE syntax the Creating Reports with WebFOCUS Language manual:

wf8207crlang.pdf (informationbuilders.com) which shows how to put the description in the Define. Heres an example:

SET POPUP=ON

 

DEFINE FILE GGSALES

DOLPERUNI/I9 (DESCRIPTION = '$ / Unit') = DOLLARS / UNIT;

END

 

TABLE FILE GGSALES

PRINT DOLLARS

UNITS

DOLPERUNI

END

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much

I have a .fex that the user requested seeing field descriptions when they hover over the column titles. I know there is a way to view the field descriptions as defined in the table, but these fields are defined fields. I was able to accomplish displaying the descriptions on the column data itself using , but they said they would rather be able to hover over the title, not the column data.

Does anyone know of a way to do this on a defined field
