Attribute Definition

An attribute is an item of data related to a component. Attributes are defined in the scope of a group. The syntax of the attribute definition is:

start attribute

	name = "attribute name"

	id = nnn

	[description = "description string"]

	type = datatype

	[access = method]

	[storage = storagetype]

	[value = [v | * "name" | "enum string"]]

end attribute

The required id statement must have a value that is unique among all other attributes in the group. Groups must have at least one attribute definition. Many attribute definitions can appear in the group definition.
