What You Can Do

You can access database information stored as a bill-of-materials data structure.

The bill-of-materials structure, which can be thought of as a series of nested set relationships, allows a path to be established between one record type and another of the same type. Different set relationships that exist between the record types are used.

How to Do It

Code:

1. PATH parameters using set names that define the level of information to be retrieved
2. Field names using level numbers to specify the level of information to be acted upon
