X3PictureAdvPL

01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

Unlike parameterless X3Titulo/X3Descric, X3Picture receives the technical field name. A picture controls presentation, not physical length or content validation. The community sample uses D2_QUANT; this uninvoked block preserves that lookup without assuming universal decimals/picture. (Sources: refs. 1–2.)
