!!!MAINTAIN LEXICONS

Lexicons are an application concept where a finite list of values is presented to the user in translatable language, for control over data entry.

The Maintain Lexicons (IMLN) screen shows [lexicons|LEXICON] supplied by Personality as well as [user-defined lexicons|USER DEFINED LEXICON].

The definition data for the Maintain Lexicon screen is stored in the [P2K_AM_LEXICON_NAMES] and [P2K_AM_LEXICON_VALUES] tables. 

;[Lexicon Name|LEXICON_NAME]:This field is used to define a name for the lexicon. Supplied lexicons are pre-defined with "X_" (e.g. X_APPROVAL_STATUS).
;[Lexicon Type|LEXICON_TYPE]:This field allows you to define the type of lexicon being defined.  Note that User Created lexicons will not be updated during a full seed load (i.e. during a major release)
;[Length|VALUE_LENGTH]:This field indicates the number of characters in the saved value of the lexicon. This does not affect the displayed value of the lexicon 
;[Country Sensitive|COUNTRY_SENSITIVE]:If the lexicon is applicable to a specific country, you will indicate ‘Yes’ in this field. 

;[Saved Value|LOW_VALUE]: The saved value is what any programming or application logic looks for.
;[Displayed|LEX_ABBREVIATION]:The displayed value is what is presented to the users when they do a drop down on the lexicon.
;[Sort|SORT_SEQUENCE]:The sort column is not currently used. 
;[Usage|LEXICON_USAGE]: This field determines the value's usage, i.e. Pre-loaded, Obsolete, User-Defined.  Note that values that are User Defined are not touched during a full seed load (i.e. during an upgrade).  If the user is of a User Created type, also please ensure that all values are user Defined.
;[Legislation|LEGISLATION]: This field allows the user to assign a legislation to a lexicon value. This is typically used for taxation purposes.
;[Meaning|MEANING]:This provides the user with additional information on the values. 
;[High Value|HIGH_VALUE]: This field is used when there is a range, with the Saved Value being the Low Value and this field containing the High Value of the range.  This is currently not used for any lexicons supplied with the system.
