Historically the
_User-Misc character field was added to the schema tables expressly for the purpose of Customers being able to store their own information as required:
_Db._User-Misc
_Field._User-Misc
_File._User-Misc
_Index._User-Misc
_Index-Field._User-Misc
_Sequence._User-Misc
_User._User-Misc
- The _User-Misc field is one of the fields that will not be used by Progress in future releases.
- Schema traps do not prevent writing to these *._User-Misc fields
- In general, database metaschema tables should never be written to because the compatibility of the contents of these metaschema tables from one major release of Progress to another cannot be guaranteed. The _User-Misc field is the one exception.
In OpenEdge 11.7 more user modifiable VST fields were added:
- _MyConnection._Myconn-UserMisc
- _Connect._Connect-UserMisc
- _Cdc-Change-Tracking._User-Misc
