Frames MD3

Inference Method plain MD3

In this mode all facilities to retrieve values from a frame object are in a variable's properties. Of course the variable must be inferred in a table, it is a table-variable.

In variable properties tab Specification choose domain type Text List or Number List. For domain elements enter all values that can be expected in the frame objects. Check on Allow multiple values.

In variable properties tab Consultation enable Inference Method Frame. Other Inference Methods must probably be disabled. Click the combo box Use frame and select the desired frame. Click the combo box Variable and select the desired frame-variable.

The table-variable is multi-valued. Inferencing yields all values in the frame objects. In other words: the values seen in a column of the objects window. Do note that duplicate values only come once in the table-variable. Also a primary key plays no role in this access of frame objects.

A variable possibly needs inference method Default. It is not possible to specify multiple values for default. The settings described above can fulfill that need.
