profile keys
Conventions for Syntax Diagrams
Data items whose values are to match those of Ordinates named in the Profile declaration,
or the System Data items GLB.SPACES or GLB.ZEROS.
There must be the same number of data items as Ordinates declared for the Profile. As the
keys determine which records are retrieved from the LINC Database, they must be
specified in the same order as declared in the Profile specification. The same name need
not be used in both places, but a numeric data item may not be used as a key for an
alphanumeric Profile Ordinate, or vice versa.
A data item brought into memory may not be specified as a key over its own structure. For
example, if the Profile is over a Component CUST, you may not specify CUST.data name
as a key. If you need to do this, move the value to a Setup Data item, and specify that Setup
Data item as the key.
