The value of a constant field can be specified as a value enclosed by apostrophes. (For other ways to specify a constant field, see the DATE, MSGCON, and TIME keywords.) You can omit the DFT keyword itself, as well as the parentheses, to simplify the DDS. Whether you specify the DFT keyword explicitly or implicitly, the OS/400 program displays the specified value as a constant field on the display. See "DDS Name (Positions 19 through 28)" for a description of constant fields.
