8.14.1 IMPORT Parameters

LIBRARIES

Use this parameter to specify the libraries to be imported.

There are 5 defined libraries available:

PRIM_LIBD – Date time library

PRIM_LIBI – Intrinsic library

PRIM_LIBN – Number function library

PRIM_LIBS – String function library

PRIM_LIBV – Variant function library

Note: With the exception of the Variant function library, all of the features of the libraries are available through the use of intrinsic functions.  This is the recommended technique.

Variants by their nature cannot support a large array of intrinsic functions.  It is necessary therefore to IMPORT the available functions such that a variant can be easily manipulated.
