Attribute Names and Values
Several parameters and all filter expressions require you to specify an attribute name. To find the list of attribute
names for a particular result set use the schema reference. You can search for result set elements by entering
the term reference, for result sets where format=references, or record, for result sets where format=records,
in the Quick Index window.
