Symbols – Examples

Below you will find some examples for symbols of the symbol type Symbol or Parameter. Note that the symbol keys listed are examples only.

Note

A symbol entry is always denoted by angle brackets < >.

Multiple value assignment information is always appended to a symbol, separated by a semicolon. It specifies which data the system outputs if a data record has multiple value assignments. Multiple value assignments are separated by a comma. If nothing is specified, only the first value assignment appears.

Multiple Value Assignment	Entry Appended to Symbol
No multiple value assignment or First	None
Multiple value assignment: First (default)	1
Multiple value assignment: All	*

You can enter more information about multiple value assignments manually. For example, if you want to output all values except the first, append the following entry manually to the symbol: ;2-*.

If multiple value assignments are to be output in another manner, for example, one value assignment per line or with an alternative separator, the symbol can be enclosed in a repeating group of the type Discrete expansion of a multiple value assignment. In this case, no information on multiple value assignment is entered in the symbol itself.
