5.A. Define Fields 5.A. Define new fields in their own section. Located before the TABLE section. While it appears first, it builds the field during execution time, but before verbs. FOCUS uses efficiency and will perform the WHERE commands that it can before it does the calculate. DEFINE FILE filename [ADD] Newfield/Format = expression; END The END is required. New fields can be printed, used in where expressions, used to create more new fields, sorted on. Anything a regular field can do, it can do too. The ADD option will add the new fields to the existing DEFINE fields; if not specified, it will overwrite the previous fields.

FOCUS for SIS Beginning Report Writing 5.B. Numeric 5.B. Define a new calculated field and display it on the report and use it as selection criteria.
