Actions - Datamodel

Datamodel actions are divided into:

Actions on the level of the Action scripts
Actions on the level of the Template

Datadictionary actions the only actions, that are also possible at the Template level. In this way it is possible to control the generation of table aspects on the level of the Action-Script, while on the level of the Template the generation of attribute aspects can be controlled. This simplified the distribution of Template-pieces.

For situations, that are condition-dependent, it is possible to control the generation of table aspects and attribute aspects through Action scripts.

Actions at the level of the Action-Script.

Actions on the level of the Action-Script have to executed in a certain order.

The name of the datadictionary is given (via FILNAM_DBN and FILNAM_DBV).
The datadictionary is read (GET_DATADIC).
Other Action-Script actions are possible via BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS and ATR_BEGIN … ATR_END iterations.

Actions	Description
FILNAM_DBN {Par1}	Give the name of the datamodel, where {PAR1} is a substitution-variable.
FILNAM_DBV {Par1}	Give the version of the datamodel, where {PAR1} is a substitution-variable
FILNAM_ROO {Par1}	Give the root of the datamodel (to be used for instance as a general prefix for all tables) , where {PAR1} is a substitution-variable.
GET_DATADIC	The datamodel is read, by reading the file {Database_name}{_GEN.}{Database_version} into a set of structures. {Database_name} is assumed to be filled with the Db_name (see FILNAM_DBN action). {Database_version} is assumed to be filled with the Db_version (see FILNAM_DBV action).
BEGIN_RELATIONS	Start the first datamodel table.
END_RELATIONS	Continue with the next datamodel table.
ATR_BEGIN	Start with the first attribute of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
ATR_END	Continue with the next attribute of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
KEY_BEGIN	Start with the first key-attribute of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
KEY_END	Continue with the next key-attribute of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
OWN_BEGIN	Start with the owner datamodel table of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
OWN_END	Continue with the owner datamodel table of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
ATR_OWN_BEGIN	Start with the first attribute of the owner datamodel table of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
ATR_OWN_END	Continue with the next attribute of the owner datamodel table of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
KEY_OWN_BEGIN	Start with the first key-attribute of the owner datamodel table of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
KEY_OWN_END	Continue with the next key-attribute of the owner datamodel table of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
MEM_BEGIN	Start with the member datamodel table of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
MEM_END	Continue with the member datamodel table of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
META_ON	Replace ‘#’ by ‘%’. Can be used to generate Template-files, that are prepared by the META_ON command for actual usage, because the substitution-character is the ‘%’-character.
META_OFF	Do not replace ‘#’ by ‘%’. Can be used to generate templates with ‘#’-characters.

Actions at the level of the Template.

PERF_KEY_BEGIN	Start with the first key-attribute of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
PERF_KEY_END	Continue with the next key-attribute of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration
PERF_OWN_BEGIN	Start with the owner datamodel table of the active datamodel table of the current BEGIN_RELATIONS … END_RELATIONS iteration

If you are using firefox, put your cursor over the logo. But for some reason IE does not like image rollover effects. Its not that big of a deal.
