Default attribute items (Attribute-Defining Items)

The number in the item-ID corresponds to the attribute mark that it describes.

A special attribute identifier used to produce a sequential counter for items being processed by the AQL sentence.

Its function is to return the size, in bytes, of the item being processed by AQL.

The a/amc attribute-defining item references the attribute-count, usually of a master dictionary or a dictionary item.

References the initial width (attribute 10) for the display column allocated by AQL for displaying the associated data. Its initial value can be adjusted by AQL depending on the type-values used in the attribute-type attribute of the ADI.

Eleven hot keys are available to provide quick access to FlashBASIC programs from within the Update processor. The hot keys are defined in a file-defining item (FDI) and attribute-defining item (ADI). The values of these keys are specified in attributes 20 through 30 in the file-defining item or attribute-defining item. Attribute 20 is hotkey.all.

For a file-defining item, the text in this field is substituted into any TCL statement that outputs this file. For an attribute-defining item, this attribute has no relevance.

References the item-ID, right justified, for sorting purposes.

Used to resize a file when it is restored. Before the file is saved, the new modulo is placed into attribute 13 of a file-defining item. During an account-restore or full file restore, the file is restored at the new size. If a file is too small, updating attribute 13 and account-save, delete-account, then account-restore causes the system to allocate more frames in the primary space for the file.
