Common Suffices

The following collection of suffices are common to all identifier types.

• .dim
• .txt
• .type
• .unit

Example

These suffixes are typically appended to an index into the set AllIdentifiers or a subset thereof. Consider the following declaration:

Set SelectedIdentifiers {
    SubsetOf   :  AllIdentifiers;
    Index      :  si;
    OrderBy    :  si;
}

Then the following loop will make a simple overview of those identifiers:

Listing 2 Common suffix example

     SelectedIdentifiers := AllParameters ; ! Or some other selection.

     put outf ;

     outf.pagewidth := 255 ; ! Wide
     put "type":20, "  ", "name":32, "  ", "dim  ", "unit":20, "  ", "Text", / ;
     put "-"*20,    "  ", "-"*32,    "  ", "---  ", "-"*20,    "  ", "-"*40, / ;

     for ( si ) do                  ! For each selected identifier
         put si.type:20, "  "       ! Type
             si:32, "  ",           ! name
             "(",si.dim:1:0, ")  ", ! dimension
             si.unit:20, "  ",      ! unit
             si.txt, /              ! Documenting text.
     endfor ;

     putclose ;

Note

Note that the suffixes .dim, .txt and .type are deprecated. See also Working with the Set AllIdentifiers of the Language Reference.
