What is dependent parameter ?



What is dependent parameter ?..

Answer / avijit

Any parameter which depends upon another parameter for it's value is called as dependent parameter.
That means the parameter can not be evaluated unless the parent parameter is resolved first.

Exemple :

$PROC_DATE : now()
$EXE_DATE : string_substring($PROC_DATE,1,8)

Here as you can see EXE_DATE depends on te PROC_DATE to be available first.

Can someone tell me the behaviour of next_in_sequence() and innovation_number() in a multifile. Suppose I have records 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,4 in a 4ways mfs file. Data in each partition is: 0th : 1,1,1 1st : 2,2 3rd : 3 4th : 4,4 What will be the sequence of these records if I pass next_in_sequence() and innovation_number() ? Also how can I extract 3rd record from each of the 4 partitions of a 4way multifile through AbInitio? In unix we can use m_dump
