A set variable represents a dataset that is formed of the grouping of one or many groups, where each group can embed subgroups and elements. A set variable can be assigned the result of a generative function called GG-func. GG-functions are programmable functions that typically return
Grouping Algebraic Data groups objects (denoted by GADg). The GG-functions are dynamically loaded by ASPL container: The Global Grouping Functions Container (denoted with
GG-container). Each GG-func is bound to a specific GROUPINGCLASS name defined in the
egC-container. The GGs functions are reloadable; for instance every time you invoke the
ggls command, ASPL reload the GGs and display them.
