6.1 Overview
The syntax of the working set specification used by the WorkingSet library is similar to the working set syntax used by EXPRESS compiler with the following extensions and limitations:
- It allows you to specify entities by their ID numbers, not only by types.
- It allows you to selectively cut the entity reference chains.
- It does not use the ANDOR constructs (complex types handling is controlled by the P21WorkingSet class).
