The documentation states
“
FactSet Remaps
Factset names like @1 are not mnemonic. You can “rename” them as follows:
define: @authors @5—whenver the system sees @authors, it will use @5
You can do this within a topic (limited to it) or outside a topic (globally thereafter).
“
I tried the define statement above and below the topic line using all lower and mixed case and get a build error.
Sample:
topic: ~XXPARSE Keep Repeat Stay( xxparse )
define: @SentenceWords @1
define: @CanonicalSentenceWords @2
ERROR SUMMARY:
line 6 of xxparse.top: Expecting responder for topic ~xxparse, got define:
line 14 of xxparse.top: OUTPUT-4 bad factset reference - @SentenceWords=
line 22 of xxparse.top: OUTPUT-4 bad factset reference - @SentenceWords
What exactly is “inside” a topic and “outside” of a topic?
Did the command change names or the syntax change since the documentation was created?
