A Field object contains the properties for a field in a report. Since this is a subclass of the Field object, many of the properties are inherited from Field (those that describe the structure of the field). This object has no methods.

OutputLength	Numeric	The output width of the field, including decimals and one place for the decimal character if there are any decimals. You don't have to fill in this property unless it's different than Length.
OutputType	String	The output data type of the field; see "Type" below for a list of valid data types. You don't have to fill in this property unless it's different than Type.
