Content Element Detail (defined in this component only; 7/11)

ArrayBase

Type:

xs:integer, predefined, simple content

Sets the array base for any arrays used in the definition (that is, whether the first value is in position 0 or 1, etc.). This may be the data array in a delimited data file or the measure array for measures that are bundled and stored in a single location. Array base is generally set to either 0 or 1. There is no override provided as systems processing a record would use a consistent array base.

XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)

<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ArrayBase" type="xs:integer"/>

DefaultVariableSchemeReference

Type:

r:ReferenceType, complex content

References the variable scheme from which identifying values may be inherited by the items contained in the data set. This allows for only the ID values to be specified at the item level, to avoid needless repetition.

XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)

<xs:element minOccurs="0" ref="DefaultVariableSchemeReference"/>

IdentifyingVariableReference

Type:

r:ReferenceType, complex content

References the variable which holds the primary key or index values.

XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)

<xs:element minOccurs="0" ref="IdentifyingVariableReference"/>

ItemSet

Type:

ItemSetType, complex content

Storage form for random order item variables.
