*EQUATE Record
The *EQUATE record assigns a list of nodes to a symbol. When the symbol is used on the :NODE tag,
the list of nodes is substituted for the symbol.
- All control files are scanned for *EQUATE records, and all *EQUATE records are used.
- *EQUATE records can be used to define more than one symbol, but VMLINK uses only the first instance of any particular value of symbol.
- A symbol defined on an *EQUATE record cannot be used as a nodeid on another *EQUATE record.
- An asterisk should not be used as a symbol. An asterisk in a names file node tag indicates that all nodes are valid. As a result, a symbol of asterisk will be ignored.
