Database extraction functions use two-character abbreviations to identify the type of Rational Statemate elements referenced in function calls. The following table lists the element types and their abbreviation.
Reference sequence diagramsFor example,
stm_r_ac_name
retrieves the name of an activity, whereasstm_r_st_name
retrieves the name of a state.The naming structure for each type of function is explained in the section that describes each specific type. Note that element type and the information to be extracted are contained in the function name and are not passed as arguments.
Arrow elements (transitions on a statechart, a-flow-lines (control and data flow lines on an activity chart) and m-flow-lines on a module chart) can be either basic or compound:

● Compound arrows result from the combination of a number of basic arrows joined together by connectors.
