Record Linking Functions

These functions allow you to recognize values that are cross references and to read the records they refer to.

FunctionDescription
bool reference(string)Reference returns true if its string argument is a cross reference value, that is, the internal key of one of the records in the database.
node dereference(string)Dereference returns the node tree of the record referred to by the cross reference string argument.
node getrecord(string)Getrecord is the same function as dereference.
