Turning off iterations of uses

To turn off the iterative nature of the “uses” relation, repeat the relation in a WHERE command statement:

REPORT "Data Elements and Structures without Iteration"
{ TABULAR 1
{
SELECT Name, Type
WHERE Class = Symbol
JOIN
WHERE Relation = "defined by"
JOIN
WHERE Class = Definition
JOIN
WHERE Relation = "uses", "uses"
JOIN
SELECT Name, Type
}
}

This example produces a list of all symbols, their definitions, and the data elements and data structures that are specifically used in the symbol definitions. Omitted are data structures used by other data structures.
