The Edition Container Record

An edition container record identifies a specific edition file. Many Edition Manager routines require an edition container record as a parameter. The EditionContainerSpec data type defines an edition container record.

TYPE EditionContainerSpec = 
   RECORD
      theFile:          FSSpec;        {file containing edition }
                                       { data}
      theFileScript:    ScriptCode;    {script code of filename}
      thePart:          LongInt;       {which part of file, }
                                       { always kPartsNotUsed}
      thePartName:      Str31;         {reserved}
      thePartScript:    ScriptCode;    {reserved}
   END;
