Hi all,
for a large ancestor-project I defined a set of informations for a lot of persons like you can see below.
QUESTION: how many synonyms can I max. define? I need about 4000 defs.
If you need only 4000 separate PIDs, that should work ok.
or has someone a better idea to handle those informations.
But it is probably easier to write a small database interface layer. Somewhat like this (note that I had to change \doGeTPID as well). \def\PID[#1][#2]{\getparameters[PID#1][#2]} \def\doGetPID#1#2{\getvalue{PID#2#1}} \def\getPID#1{\doGetPID{Fam}{#1}, \doGetPID{Vor}{#1}~(#1)} \PID[268] [Fam=Rudolph, Nam=Rudluffen, Vor=Adam] Cheers, Taco
