For example, the partition CallRecord of the group type SetofCallRecords is
CallRecord<>SetofCallRecords.
Think of a partition as a particular kind of the partitioned type. For example, in the
name Detail<>Record, you can think of it as a Detail kind of Record.
An object name includes component references and partition references. For
example, the partition Back of OrderRecord, on the input card File, appears in a
map rule as Store Field:CallRecord<>OrderRecord:File
Use Ellipses
Enables the Use Ellipses display option for subsequent object names dragged to
the rule bar. The Use Ellipses options causes lengthy object names to display the
shortest possible object name.
Rather than having the entire name appear, unique portions of the name are
replaced with a period (.) that is used as an abbreviation of ellipses ( ... ).
Complete object name: Company Field:Record:Input
Shortened name: Company Field:.:Input
If the Use Ellipses option is enabled, the shortest object name that is different
from all other object names in the same map is used. Some object names may not
include ellipses, because the shortest unique name is the entire name.
Note The Use Ellipses option does not affect object names that already exist in map
rules; it only affects object names that are entered after the option is enabled.
