Did you know that when a computed column is displayed in the Data Dictionary,
it is possible to copy the entire column definition or just the formula?
While using the R:BASE Editor, pressing the F3 key, and selecting a specific
computed column, the expression/formula is listed.

By then using the right-click mouse button, a menu is available to copy the
complete column definition or only the formula.

Selecting either option will place the text in the clipboard.
Please Note:
You will have to click on the [Cancel] button and NOT the [OK] button to
retain the copied "formula" to paste into the R:BASE Editor, or any other
source.
Pressing the [OK] button will overwrite previously copied string with
currently selected column(s), as intended with the Data Dictionary.
