PDMS Software Customisation Reference Manual Appendix D Attributes Reference

Appendix D.
PDMS Attributes and Pseudo-

Attributes
Note: Where primary element is referred to in this Appendix, this

means an element which can be claimed.
A noclaim attribute is one which can be modified without having
to claim the owning element.
D.1. Attributes
This section lists all PDMS attributes sorted alphabetically by name. For
each attribute, the list gives:
the full name and the minimum abbreviation for that name (shown
by capitalisation of the relevant characters);
the attribute's data type;
the PDMS database type(s) to which it applies;
a brief description of its function.
These names should be used when accessing a PDMS attribute as a member

of a DBREF object:

Table D- 1 : PDMS Attributes

Version 11.6SP1
D.2. Pseudo-Attributes
Pseudo attributes are used in the same way as standard attributes. They can
be queried at the command line, via PML or used in expressions and reports.
D.2.1. Pseudo-Attribute Syntax

Normally the syntax for pseudo-attributes is a single word. Occasionally two
words are required.
Some of the attributes have additional qualifiers, e.g. p-point number. The
possible types of qualifier are:
Integer.
Attribute name.
Noun name (element type).
Word.
It is indicated in the lists when a qualifier is required.

The syntax for qualifiers is ‘attribute name’ , space, qualifier, e.g. PPOS 1.
However, when using the PML dot syntax this is not the case. For the dot
syntax, qualifiers are handled as follows:
The attribute/word qualifier goes after a further dot, e.g. for query
the history of the position attribute, the syntax is !!ce.hist.pos.
The integer qualifier goes in square brackets, e.g. !!ce.ppos[1].
Noun qualifiers are not catered for – use the old VAR syntax.
D.2.2. Grouping of Pseudo-Attributes

The lists are broken down into the following groups:
All elements on all DBs relating to name and type

relating to members/owners/hierarchy
relating to attributes
relating to DB
relating to session history
relating to claims
relating to extracts
relating to access control
relating to rules
Design DBs. Most DESI element types.
Most DESI element types, DATASET
properties.
DESI elements with a catalogue or spec. ref.
E.g piping component.

appears in ‘Q CLAIMLIST
EXTRACT’
EXCLFR LOGICAL True if element claimed from this
extract. Only true on primary
elements; i.e. if true then this
element would appear in ‘Q
CLAIMLIST EXTRACT OTHER’
EXCLHI REFERENCE List of primary elements below this
one, and including this one, which
have been claimed to the extract; i.e.
potentially releasable
EXNCLH REFERENCE List of primary elements below this
one, and including this one, which
have not been claimed to the extract;
i.e. potentially claimable

Version 11.6SP1
PRMOWN REFERENCE Returns owning primary element, or

itself, if primary (i.e. what to
claim/release)
EXMOD LOGICAL True if element is primary, and
modifications have been made to it;
i.e. a flush or drop is worth doing on
this element
EXPMOD LOGICAL True if element is primary, and
modifications have been made to it or
any ‘non primary’ children; i.e. a
flush or drop is worth doing
EXMOC LOGICAL As EXMOD, but ignoring changes to

EXPMOC LOGICAL As EXPMOD, but ignoring changes
to noclaim attributes and member
lists
OKDROP LOGICAL True if element can be dropped (valid

the extract that the user has claimed
from.
EXTCON REF(*) Elements which have been either
disconnected from this element or
connected to this element in the
extract
EXTCNN REF(*) A subset of EXTCON. Only includes
elements which have not been
modified in the extract (other than
connection reference).
EXTCNC REF(*) A subset of EXTCON. Only includes
elements which have not been
modified in the extract (other than
connection reference).
EXTCNC + EXTCNN will give
EXTCON
EXTRCO REF(*) As EXTCON but applied recursively
to each connection
EXTRCN REF(*) As EXTCNN but applied recursively

Descendants
EXHRCO REF(*) As EXTRCO but repeat test for all
Descendants
EXHRCN REF(*) As EXTRON but repeat test for all
Descendants
Note: The tests on OKDROP do not test ‘combination’ aspects. For

example, if you rename /FRED to /TOM and /TOM to /FRED
then these elements must be dropped together. This is not
tested for by the pseudo-attributes.
For EXTRC, USERC the system will only return information for
the extract opened, and for ascendant extracts. For example, if
you are in the Master extract, the system only returns
information about claims to the immediate children. It does not
report on further claims to grandchildren or to users working on
the child extracts. Ideally this would not be the case, but
currently it is too difficult technically to do so. This restriction
also applies to the information returned from ‘Q CLAIMLIST …’
The following attributes are covered by the term ‘connection’:
CREF, TREF, HREF, CRFA, VXREF, JOIS, JOIE, Dynamic

Special Attributes For Use in the MODIFIED, CREATED and DELETED

functions
GEOM LOGICAL Has any aspect of the evaluated

geometry1 changed
CATTEXT LOGICAL Has any part of the evaluated detail
or material text changed.
CATMOD LOGICAL Has a value2 in the catalogue
changed
1 An evaluated geometry change occurs if:
any dimension of a primitive has changed

any p-point changes
POS/ORI changes
The level information used to determine the geometry will be that set by the
REPRE MASS command. The REPRE MASS command is available in
ISODRAFT.
2 Relevant catalogue changes are changes to:
SPREF

Version 11.6SP1
SPCO elements
COMP elements
PTSE, GMSE, ppoint, geometry elements
any dataset elements
DTEXT,MTEXT elements
Note that there is a subtle difference between CATMOD and the other two
special attributes. The CATTEXT and GEOM keywords work on the evaluated
values. Thus it is possible that the geometry element has changed but the
GEOM keyword returns false, e.g. a UDA value may have changed, but this
has no effect on the evaluated geometry. The CATMOD keyword on the other
hand will return true for any change.
The CATMOD keyword may be used on any element. It will return ‘false’ if
the element does not have a SPREF or CATREF reference pointing into the
catalogue database. It will return ‘true’ if the element has a SPREF or
CATREF attribute and either (a) this reference attribute has itself changed in
value or (b) the catalogue element pointed at, or any catalogue element owned
by or pointed at by this element, either directly or indirectly, has changed in
any way.
The exception is that elements pointed at via UDAs are not compared,
although the value of the UDA itself is checked. Thus if a reference valued
UDA has been changed then this will count as a change, but if only the
element pointed at has changed, then this will not count. Design DBs

Piping and Hanger Components
ATLE REAL Arrive tube length

TEXIST LOGICAL True if TUBI exists
LTLE REAL Leave tube length
GRDE OR GRADIENT REAL Gradient of implied tube
ITPS POSITION Position (centre) of implied tube
MTCL REAL Centreline length of current material
tube (includes off-line items such as
bends)
MTBE REFERENCE Referenceof pipe component
beginning material tube
MTEN REFERENCE Reference of pipe component ending
material tube
Note: The above are also available at the BRAN element.

Gradient is the vertical rise (fall) divided by the horizontal
distance. The maximum/minimum values returned are 1E6,
!1E6.
Material tube is defined as the continuous lengths of TUBI
separated by components for whom the LOFF attribute is set to
False, or there is no LOFF attribute (excluding ATTAs),
i.e.several pieces of implied tube may make up a material tube.
The MTCL calculation is the more useful one, as it includes the
offline components such as bends.
For example, a BEND1!TUBI!BEND2 combination would have
the MTCL as the combined length, queryable at any of the
components. The MTBE would be BEND1, the MTEN would be
BEND2.
MTLE is available on TUBI and is similar to MTCL, but stops at
the next piece of implied tube. MTLE is thus more useful in
reports, since summing the MTLE for all TUBI will give the
correct total tube length required.
