Syntax
d;ac
Description
defines the 'dependent' attribute in a 'control/dependent' pair of correlated multi-values; the controlling attribute must contain a 'c' (controlling) code.
The attribute count specified in the 'ac' parameter must contain the controlling ('c') code and attribute count of the controlling attribute. Note that this function belongs in attribute 4 of the item.
Example
id: order# quantity price ext.price
001 a a a a
002 3 4 5 6
003
004 c;4;5;6 d;3 d;3 d;3
In this example, 'order#' is the 'controlling' attribute
and 'controls' the values in attributes four, five and six. Each of
these three 'controlled' attributes must indicate in their
corresponding attribute-defining items that they are 'dependent' upon
attribute 3.
