Data in a Catalogue Dataset is obtained by a two-part codeword of the general form:
#attribute^qualifier
For example:
|
#PROPERTY^WIDTH |
obtain Property value of WIDTH dataset entry |
|
#PRTITLE^WIDTH |
obtain Property Title of WIDTH dataset entry |
The Property Default (PRDEFAULT) and Property Purpose (PRPURPOSE) settings can be obtained in a similar manner. In each case the first part of the codeword (that means, PROPERTY etc) can be abbreviated to four characters.
PROPERTY values are evaluated as distances or bores if the PTYPE attribute of the relevant DDTA (or DDAT) element is set to DIST or BORE respectively.
