A single value or multiple values? According to BIRD 127.4 the AMI_parameters_in/out strings can only contain "leaf/value pairs", i.e. a single value for each parameter name (or a Table according to BIRD 132). |**** 2) the AMI Parameter branches Usage Out or Usage InOut are |**** returned as leaf/value pairs in the AMI_parameters_out |**** string. If that is true, why would one define a Usage Out parameter as anything else but Value, Default or Table? -------- Quoted text ends here. -------------- Perhaps, this is useful in helping the EDA tool validate the single values returned by the model? That is, having the list of appropriate return values at its disposal, the EDA tool can be alerted to erroneous model behavior (i.e. - if the model returns a value that is NOT in the original list). -db Confidentiality Notice.
