The <codetable> element is a sub-element below the <codetables> root. The <codetable> element should follow the <description> element, if it's specified. For an ordinary code table file definition only a single <codetable> element can be defined. If a hierarchy_name attribute has been specified in the <codetables> multiple <codetable> elements are allowed as long as they are linked correctly in a hierarchy.
The codetable element groups a number of <code> elements together and an optional <codetabledata> element.
The <codetable> element has the following attributes:
Attribute Name |

Description |
|---|---|---|---|

None |
A unique identifier for the code table. The name attribute is trimmed of leading and trailing spaces on code table generation. Some restrictions apply to the name attribute when the <displaynames> element is specified. Please see Artefacts Produced by ctgen Build Target for further details. |
java_identifier |

The name of the generated symbol definition Java file. This identifier cannot be duplicated for code tables with different names. |
parent_codetable |
