v (within) processing code

The v processing code is used by the within connective and must be placed in the correlative attribute 8 of the file-defining item (D-pointer).

If you attempt to file or restore a within in an FSI file-defining item, it will be commented-out with an asterisk (*).

This processing code is supported only from the VME.

Example(s)

Suppose that in the dictionary of the hypothetical file, parts, that the correlative attribute of the D-pointer to parts contains the processing code, v;;1, which means to explode on attribute 1.

The sentence:

list within parts ’car’

Produces the output:

level          Parts......
1              car
2              engine
2              wheel
3              tire
3              rim
2              hood
[405] 6 items listed out of 1 items.
 
 
list parts
 
parts...
wheel
tire
rim

hood
car
[405] 6 items listed out of 6 items.

The hypothetical data could be examined with the command:

ct parts car

Produces the output:

car
001 engine]wheel]hood
ct parts engine
engine
001 flywheel]piston

The flywheel and piston items do not exist in parts, so they do not get exploded.
