Minor addition: While VA FileMan generally assigns canonical numbers, one can through the database calls create entries that have any positive rational number permitted by the local computer system being used.

DAVIS Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 1:07 PM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] How many Secondary Menus can be assigned? The answer, once and for ever more, if the set of items being considered are a set of VA File Manager 'entries'--or in other words VA FM tables (files) then the list if entries is indefinitely long. VA FM uses an internal global method known as "double subscripting" to designate where a 'table' entry is located. It is this 'excess' of using two subscripts rather that a single subscript that give VA FM files their indefinitely long list length. This second subscript, also referred to as the Internal Entry Number (IEN), has values drawn from the universe of all positive canonical numbers, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4.... up to the largest such number permitted by the local computer system being used. I believe secondary menus are managed as entries in a VA FM file, hence may be indefinite in number.
