Message Sets: TDS properties for attribute reference string types

The TDS wire format properties for attribute reference string types.

The TDS Format properties described here apply to:

Objects: Attribute Reference
String schema types: anyURI, ENTITIES, ENTITY, ID, IDREF, IDREFS, language, Name, NCName, NMTOKEN, NMTOKENS, normalizedString, NOTATION, QName, string, token

Property	Type	Meaning
Length Reference	Enumerated type	This property is applicable only if Physical Type is Text, Binary, or TLOG Specific. If set, this property takes precedence over any value in the Length Units property. Specify the identifier of a sibling integer object, the value of which determines the length of the object in question. The sibling object must be defined before the current object within the message structure. For information about reordering elements, see Message Sets: Reordering objects.
Inclusive Length Reference	Check box	This property is applicable only if Length Reference is set. If the check box is selected, the value of the sibling integer object that is identified by Length Reference is the length of the current object plus the length of the sibling integer object. If the check box is not selected, the value of the sibling integer object that is identified by Length Reference is the length of the current object only. If the check box is selected, the Length Units property of the sibling integer object must be the same as that of the current object.

Inclusive Length Reference

Check box

This property is applicable only if Length Reference is set.

If the check box is selected, the value of the sibling integer object that is identified by Length Reference is the length of the current object plus the length of the sibling integer object.

If the check box is not selected, the value of the sibling integer object that is identified by Length Reference is the length of the current object only.

If the check box is selected, the Length Units property of the sibling integer object must be the same as that of the current object.
