1.CDO>  DEFINE FIELD TRANS_DATE
      cont>   DATATYPE IS DATE
      cont>   EDIT_STRING IS NN"/"DD"/"YY.

      In this example, the DEFINE FIELD command creates the TRANS_
      DATE field element, which displays as a series of three, two-
      digit numbers in a month/day/year format.

    2.CDO>  CHANGE FIELD TRANS_DATE
      cont>   NOEDIT_STRING.
      CDO>  CHANGE FIELD COBOL_TRANS_DATE
      cont>   NOCOBOL EDIT_STRING.

      In this example, the NOEDIT_STRING keywords remove the generic
      EDIT_STRING property from the TRANS_DATE field element. The
      NOCOBOL EDIT_STRING keywords remove the COBOL-specific EDIT_
      STRING property.
