CompoundTable

@CompoundTable("name", min, max)

This command is optional.

Open Parser tables are processed so that compound terms (such as "Mary Jo," "Jo Beth," "National Security Administration," and so on) are recognized. Any Open Parser table has this capability, so all Open Parser tables can support compound and non-compound terms.

Example

@CompoundTable("GivenNames",1,3)

This command checks to see if a token matches the Givens Names table in Table Management and matches the token if there is a minimum of one matching term or a maximum of three matching terms. If there are zero matching terms or four or more matching terms, no match is made.

Provide the values for this commands as shown here:

• name is the name of the table.
• min is the value of the minimum number of terms matched to a table.
• max is the value of the maximum number of terms matched to a table.
• min and max must be a whole number.

To use this command:

1. Position the cursor where you want the command inserted.
2. Double-click @CompoundTable in the Commands list. If you do not want a minimum or maximum number of occurrences, leave the appropriate field blank.
3. Select the table name.

   If you do not see the table you want, you must create the table in Table Management. For more information, Introduction to Lookup Tables.

4. Type the value of the minimum number of occurrences of the compound token in the Minimum field.
5. (Optional) Type the value of the maximum number of occurrences of the compound token in the Maximum field.
6. Click OK.
