When tablesONLINE presents a screen, it calls the Description table to provide some of the text to be displayed. In order to identify the appropriate text for the screen, tablesONLINE searches the rows of the Description table. The lookup is conducted in a hierarchical order with the most specific and applicable case being examined first and then defaulting down the line to the most general definition that applies. The most specific case found that applies to the screen being presented will be used. Table 177 illustrates the lookup order from the most specific to the most general case.
