The OPTION file provides a nice example of a whole file
cross-reference:
Subfile #19.01
Traditional Cross-References:
AD REGULAR WHOLE FILE (#19)
Field: ITEM (19.01,.01)
1)= S ^DIC(19,"AD",$E(X,1,30),DA(1),DA)=""
2)= K ^DIC(19,"AD",$E(X,1,30),DA(1),DA)
You can see here that, instead of just the IEN (DA) below the index
entry, there are two subscripts, the first is the IEN in the containing
file (DA(1)), and the second is the IEN in the subentry (DA). For a
sub-subfile, you'd have DA(2), then DA(1) and finally DA, etc.
To make this a little more concrete, suppose you know option number 10
is DIEDIT and you want to find all menus containing it. You can just
consult the cross-reference:
>D ^%G
Device: Right margin: 80=>
Global ^DIC(19,"AD",10 -- NOTE: translation in effect
^DIC(19,"AD",10,19,1)=
^DIC(19,"AD",10,515,1)=
^DIC(19,"AD",10,3393,1)=
Global ^
