Attributes in Expressions

  • Last UpdatedAug 18, 2026

All attributes and pseudo-attributes may be recognized within expressions.

Optionally, they may be followed by 'OF' to denote a different element to the current one, for example, POS OF /VESS1. Brackets may be used to denote an element of an array, for example, DESP[8 + 1] for the ninth value of DESP. Since syntax clashes are possible, the keyword ATTRIB may be used to denote that an attribute follows. For example, ATTRIB E will denote the pseudo-attribute EAST, as opposed to the start of a position or direction.

Attributes are described in the Data model documentation.
