●  Operator subset determines if a set is a subset of a set

Use the subset operator to determine if a set variable is a subset of another set variable. If the operator is followed by a series of set variables, then the subsetness is realized by going over each pair of set variables from left to right.

 

subset EXAMPLE1
The following example shows how to determine to what limit a directory has the same content as another directory. The directories may have common subdirectories and common files. The following operations are performed in the context of the sample workspace WS1.

 

subset OPERATION1

# aspl WS1
    (start ASPL loading WS1 workspace)

①  aspl> v
    (display the set variables)

②  aspl> mostly 80
    (set mostly acceptance to 80%)

③  aspl> looselysubset a2 a3
    (use loosely since group labels are different for different directory)

④  aspl> mostlyLooselySubset a2 a3
    (determine subsetness using the mostly amplifier )

 

subset EXAMPLE2
The following example shows how to use the subset operator by following it with a serie of set variables.

 

subset OPERATION2

①  aspl> u12 = gU a1 a2
    (u12 is assigned the group union of a1 and a2)

②  aspl> u123 = gU a1 a2 a3
    (u123 is assigned the group union of a1 a2 and a3)

③  aspl> v d u123
    (view internals of set variable u123)

④  aspl> subset a1 u12 u123
    (determine if a1 is a subset of u12, and u12 is subset of u123)

 

● SUBSETNESS and its Amplifiers

This subset can be amplified by prefixing it with amplification syntax shown in the following table:
