The FIELD command identifies a field in a data record or supplies a field of constant text, and positions where the field is on the page. More than one position on the page can be specified.

FIELD commands:

• Are subordinate to a PRINTLINE command (Traditional), LAYOUT command (Record Format), or LAYOUT subcommand (XML)
• Must follow a PRINTLINE command (Traditional) or a LAYOUT command (Record Format)
• Must contain either a LENGTH subcommand or a TEXT subcommand (Traditional only)

The FONT, DIRECTION, and COLOR subcommands do not have fixed defaults. If any of these subcommands is omitted, the value for the omitted subcommand is obtained from the corresponding subcommand in the PRINTLINE command (Traditional), LAYOUT command (Record Format), or LAYOUT subcommand (XML).
