Statemate element Ifxx_id
belongs to a primitive (not a compound) element,status
receives the valuestm_primitive_element
.To retrieve the definition ofC1
from the database for a system that contains a conditionC1
(whereC1
is defined asC2
orC3
in the form ofC1
), use the following function calls:VARIABLE
CONDITION cond_id;
STRING cond_def;
INTEGER status;
.
.
.
cond_id := stm_r_co (’C1’, status);
cond_def := stm_r_co_expression (cond_id, status);
