A code is a list of values that belong to a common denominator. They are widely used in application development to construct ‘domains’. A domain, for example, can be used to store a list of values for a field. For example the screen ‘Revenues’ shows a code list for the number of periods.
Use the screen Codes to register codes and consequently use this screen to register the individual values.
The registration of code values is a typical activity for application developers. See the warning under Application Development.
