6025.0. "Question note attribute values." by TPLAB::DEMOOR () Mon Jun 20 1994 05:29
I'am developing an access module generator, that adds a child to an existing
two level parent - child1, child2, child3  access module.
When I add a child4 entity, can I have the same code for the child4 attributes,
than the codes for, say child3 ?
Example child3  state, code 11		child4   number of errors, code 11
		color, code 12			 state,            code 12
		age,   code 13			 level,            code 13
Thanks in advance,
Kurt

|  | Kurt,
The rules for the assignement of attribute names and codes are listed inthe SRM,
section 7.4.3 Philosophy for Assigning Names and Codes.
Your question is answered by point 8 :
"An attribute or event code must be unique within the set of all attribute and
event codes defined for the same entity class".
In your example, child3 and child4 are 2 different sub-classes and therefore you
can attribute codes in class child4 with same numbers as attribute codes in
class child3. 
Best regards,
Marc.
