Element Type Abbreviations

Database extraction functions use two-character abbreviations to identify the type of Rational Statemate elements referenced in function calls. The following table lists the element types and their abbreviations.

For example, stm_r_ac_name retrieves the name of an activity, whereas stm_r_st_name retrieves the name of a state.

The naming structure for each type of database extraction function is explained in the section that describes each specific type. Note that element type and the information to be extracted are contained in the function name and are not passed as arguments.
