      FILLER

1  –  Description

    The FILLER field property creates an unnamed field element.
    Unnamed field elements are similar to FILLER fields in COBOL.
    You can use them to format print records or to reserve space in a
    record for future additions.

    When you specify the FILLER property, CDO creates the field
    element without a processing name.

  CDO>  DEFINE FIELD BLANKS
  cont>   DATATYPE IS TEXT 30 FILLER.

      In this example, the DEFINE FIELD command includes a FILLER
      property that suppresses the BLANKS processing name.
