Create OTL custom view HXC_CUI_CUSTOMn_V

OTL currently delivers ten of these configurable
view objects:

The views must have at least two columns and they must
be called: DISPLAY VALUE and VALUE

STORING DATA
In order to store data from our choice list we have to create
Context and segment in OTL Information Types DFF.

UPLOADING TIMECARD LAYOUTS

In order for modified layout to be available
in the OTL Application Preferences, a DBA
will have to execute the following command:
FNDLOAD username/password@dbname 0 Y UPLOAD $HXC
TOP/patch/115/import/ hxclaytlayoutsld.lct ./layout.ldt

Note: Every time you customized a layout,

a DBA will have to reload your new layout.
