7.12 Appendix A

This appendix contains the source code for the BETA program used as example in the tutorial. The source consists of the files record.bet and recordlib.bet.

Program 1: record.bet

ORIGIN '~beta/basiclib/betaenv';
INCLUDE './recordlib';
--- PROGRAM: descriptor ---
(# (* This fragment is an example of using virtual patterns in BETA.  
    * The following classification hierarchy is defined in the  
    * library fragment 'recordlib'  
    * 1.  Record  
    * 2.  Person  
    * 3. Employee  
    * 3. Student  
    * 2. Book  
    * Record has a virtual (procedure) pattern:  
    * Display, that displays the attributes of a record.  
    * Display is further bound in the sub-patterns.  
    * The patterns NewRecord, NewPerson, etc may be used for  
    * generating new instances of the record-patterns.  
    * The pattern Register has two virtual attributes:  
    * regCat:< record, the elements in the register.  
    * Display, that displays the elements of the register.  
    *   
    * In this application two instances of Register are generated:  
    * Greg is a general register where regCat is not further bound  
    * Ereg is an employee register where only Emplyoee-records may  
    * be inserted
