&* parameter in include file

Now i'm working in one company, which make soft for banks. It uses OpenEdge and I faced with the situation, when in some procedure include file with parameters is added. After that, if it is another include file in the first one, it can be added with parameter &*. Сan anyone explain how this works?

For example:

first.i:


...
{second.i {*&}}
...

proc.p:


...
{first.i &f='one '
         &s='two '
} 
...
Solution

  • Ampersand-star appended to the name of the second include file will pass all parameters passed to first.i to second.i as well.

    {second.i {&*}}
