Understanding Model Object References

The references for a model object are the model objects that are referenced by the object, or that the original model object refers to internally. In other words, references are the model objects the referring model object requires in order to be complete or to exist. The following diagram shows the possible references for model object types. Note that application areas (APP) have no references.

For example:

• Database fields (FLD) can reference conditions (CND) or other fields (FLD).
• Functions (FUN) can reference messages (MSG), arrays (ARR), other functions (FUN), fields (FLD), and access paths (ACP).

For a table of ways a model object can reference other model objects, see the Command Reference Guide.
