<p>Some high-level languages
|
|
may allow you to declare more than one variable with the same fully qualified
|
|
name (although you generally are not able to refer to these variables in the
|
|
high-level language program after they are declared). If you attempt to refer
|
|
to such a variable using an i5/OS™ test facility command, the system selects one
|
|
of the variables and uses it for the operation. No error is reported when
|
|
a duplicate fully qualified name is selected.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Rules for qualified name description</h4><ul><li>An ODV number is a slash (/) followed by 1 to 4 hexadecimal digits (0
|
|
through 9, and A through F). </li>
|
|
<li>The variable-name must be the name of a variable in the program. This
|
|
name must be specified the same way in the high-level language. Some high-level
|
|
languages introduce qualifier variable names in addition to the ones you specified
|
|
in the source for your program. See the appropriate high-level language manual
|
|
for more information about variable names. </li>
|
|
<li>Blanks must separate the variable-names from the special words OF and
|
|
IN. </li>
|
|
<li>When a period is used to form a qualified name, no blanks can appear between
|
|
it and the variable-names. <ul><li>The ordering of the variable names must follow these rules: <ul><li>For qualified names that contain no embedded period, the variable names
|
|
are assumed to be specified from the lowest to the highest levels in the structure.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>For qualified names that contain one or more embedded periods, the variable
|
|
names are assumed to be specified from the highest to the lowest levels in
|
|
the structure.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>When an ODV number is not used for the qualified name, enough qualifier
|
|
variable names must be specified so that a single unique variable can be identified
|
|
in the program. Whether the qualified name is a simple name (only one variable
|
|
name specified) or a name with multiple qualifier variable names, the variable
|
|
in the program is uniquely identified if either of the following conditions
|
|
is true (these conditions may require you to specify more qualifier variable
|
|
names for i5/OS test
|
|
facility commands than you need to specify in the high-level language program
|
|
to uniquely select a program variable): <ul><li>A variable is uniquely identified if there is one and only one variable
|
|
in the program with a set of qualifier variables matching the qualified variable
|
|
name specified. </li>
|
|
<li>A variable is uniquely identified in the program if it has exactly the
|
|
same set of qualifier variables as the qualifier variable names specified.
|
|
When the complete set of qualifiers is specified, the variable name is said
|
|
to be <em>fully qualified</em>. A variable that is a <em>fully qualified</em> match
|
|
for the qualified-name is selected even if there are other variables with
|
|
names that match the qualified name but have additional qualifier variables
|
|
which were not specified.</li>
