Description
This attribute has been deprecated. Please use f2s_column_default_sql_value instead.
This attribute is used to get or set the default value for a given column. Getting the default value can be done anywhere in the code, however, setting the value can only be done within a Structure_Start/Structure_End block.
Only constants can be used when setting this attribute (unlike f2s_column_default_sql_value). The driver will automatically add quotes around the passed variable. If the variable is malformed, the default value for the column will be deleted but NOT recreated. No error is generated.
When creating a table, if the attribute is not set, it is defaulted to the driver default. For more information, please see Mertech.cfg.
