The name of the owner of the database table on the database server
The name of the database table on the database server, if different than the EntitySet name. RemoteName is normally used when there is a naming incompatibility between Zim and the database server.
The name of the database table on the database server
Whether this entity set is defined to be per user.
“yes” or “no” (the default value is “no”).
Normally, entity sets belong to the database and are managed by ZimServer. However, per user entity sets have these differences:
. They are handled by the current session and their information is lost after the session finishes;
. They are located in the $WorkPath directory;
. They don’t suffer any locks because they belong to the current user and no other users can access them;
. They don’t exist at the beginning of the session and must explicitly be created (or recreated) at any time by the application via the command INITIALIZE PERUSER. There is no need to keep a “storage” full of empty copies of all per user entity sets used by the Zim application.
In previous versions of Zim, per user entity sets were indicated with the “)” mark in the AREAS.ZIM file. This is no longer needed and any such entries will flagged with an error.
The name of an application directory (Directories); otherwise, the one application directory in which the associated object may exist.
An 18-character string, containing a valid object name
In Directories:
DirName is the name assigned to the directory.
In other Object Dictionary entity sets:
In any entity set, the principal object’s DirName must match the DirName of its owner.
If DirName is left blank, the object may exist in any number of application directories.
In DDDescriptions, DirName is where the object being described may be found.
In DisplayForms, DirName is where the owner-display of the associated form may be found.

AvgSize is used by the strategy analyzer to determine the most efficient access strategy when a database object is used in a set specification. AvgSize does not restrict the physical size of the object in any way.
A unique identifier assigned by the Development Center.
A 25-character string (DEFAULT = $Null)
ObjectKey is a unique identifier assigned by the Zim Development Center if the Object Manager (ZOM) has been enabled. End-users should not modify its value. Refer to the Development Center documentation for more information.
