DETERMINE; GROUP
DETERMINE; GROUP
Syntax
The DETERMINE; GROUP command reads Component or Event records into memory
from a Profile. You can specify the following details:
$ The order in which records are retrieved
$ The initial record to be retrieved
$ The final record to be retrieved
The order in which records are read is defined by the FROM; and BACK; command
options. The FROM; command option means the Profile is read in Profile order, while the
BACK; command option means the Profile is read in reverse order.
The initial record is defined by the high-order values (values for some of the Profile
Ordinates) and the start values (specified by the FROM; or BACK; command option).
The final record is defined by the high-order values and the end values (specified by the
UNTIL; command option). If the UNTIL; command option is not included, the loop is
terminated when the last record with the specified high-order values is retrieved (or the
last record in the file, if high-order values are not specified).
Note: End values, Start values, or high-order values should not be changed within the
DETERMINE; GROUP loop.
The record left in memory is not defined when the loop of a DETERMINE; GROUP
command terminates automatically, because of differences between the types of host on
which LINC Systems may run. However, the current record will remain in memory
following a BREAK; or JUMP.TO; command.
If the name of a Multiple Ordinate Memo Component is used in place of the Profile with the
DETERMINE; GROUP command, the Automaint Profile for Memo Component is used.
