Re: Embedded tables

[Bhaskar_Bhar <[e-mail]>]

Hi,
 Thanks for the correction. By embedded tables, I did not mean that
while defining the syntax of a table, SEQUENCE OF <EntryType> where
EntryType is another SEQUENCE OF. This is not allowed as evident from
sec 7.1.12. I thought embed. tables to be what given in AUGMENTS clause.

 But an embedded table can also be thought of as following:

If a table is indexed over more than one variable, then for same
value of one index variable, we have different values of other
index variables; thus keeping one index variable constant
we have some kind of another concetual table which is
now indexed over other index variables.

As the original question was not so clear, I directed him to the
said RFC.

Thanks & Regards
Bhaskar
