A condition name is assigned
to
a value, set of values or range of values, within the complete set of
values that a.data item may assume. The condition name must contain at least one alphabetic char-
acter. Each condition name must be unique, or be made unique through qualification. The associ-
ated data item may be the qualifier for any of its condition names.
If

this data item
require indexing, subscripting or qualification, references
to
any of its condition names require
the same combination of indexing, subscripting or qualification.
