EDL-Relation Statement
PARENT defines the relationship between the ObjectID in the current Relation
statement and the ObjectID in the next higher level of the hierarchy. NULL means you
are at the top of the hierarchy.
CAPTION defines either a fixed <container-name> such as CAPTION "TCP/IP". Or, a
<container-name> can also be specified as CAPTION "*" to indicate any text can
appear at that level of the hierarchy. If a Caption is declared then INSTANCE should
not be declared for that Relation statement.
INSTANCE indicates that the ObjectID in the current Relation statement is the name of
an EDL Entity previously declared.
Considerations
ObjectID container and instance associations for an entity can be further specified with
the EDL MAP <ObjectID> TO <EntityName> statements shown below.
Entity Relationships defined with EDL RELATION statements must match the actual
domain names used by all components of ASAP. For example, system entity object
names and containers cannot be modified using Relation statements.
