Say you have a database Field Description defined as 1600 bytes (20 rows x 80 columns)
Then say you want to allow sentence/paragraph text entry into the whole top half of that entry screen, 10 rows x 80 columns,
Finally, you want to display and break out the bottom half of the screen into rows and columns like Excel for columnar data entry (and subsequent readable print format).
So say your (10 row) bottom half FIVE COLUMNS would BE: 15 then 1 blank, 15 then 1 blank, 15 then 1 blank, 15 then 1, 15.
So while all the data will be in one large field (which will BE FULLY scanable for querying), certain bytes of the field will be "hard coded" so to speak. Make sense?
