Description
A controlling/dependent set of attributes is two or more attributes that are associated.
In an AQL report, to see dependent attributes, controlling attributes must be specified.
When using the Update Processor, to see dependent attributes, controlling attributes must be specified. The attributes dependent upon the controlling attribute must contain a d (dependent) code in attribute 4.
Example(s)
In this example, order# is the controlling attribute and controls the values in attributes 4, 5, and 6. Each of these three controlled attributes must indicate in their corresponding attribute-defining items that they are dependent upon attribute 3.
