**OPTFIELD**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **OPTFIELD** //type// in a #PROMPT statement indicates the prompt's //symbol// may either contain text entered by the programmer or the label of a field in a data file. When a field is selected, the #PROMPT symbol contains the field name with an exclamation prepended (!FieldName). A list of available fields pops up when the programmer presses the "..." button next to the #PROMPT entry box on the Properties screen.

**Example:**

**#PROMPT('Default Value',****OPTFIELD****),%DefaultValue**
