   Field	Description
   Code Types	Enter a code that identifies the table that contains user defined codes. The table is also referred to as a UDC type. Note: It is suggested that you do not change code types. If you change a code type, you might invalidate existing records that use the original code type.

   Numeric (Y/N)	Determines whether a user defined code is numeric or alphanumeric. Valid values are: Y Indicates that the code is numeric and should be right-justified. N Indicates that the code is alphanumeric and should be left-justified.
