APPFLD - field section

Each field section identifies a field in the selected object that you want to update; for example, the status of an operation in the current plan. APPFLD is not used when the object name is BACKUP_EVENT but is required for all other object names. Field sections are pointed to by the APPOBJ_FLD_TRIPLET in the object section. You can specify more than one APPFLD for each APPOBJ, but all field sections for a particular APPOBJ must be in contiguous storage.

The field section has this format:
