Within (added by agreement at the August 1997 ZIG meeting) 104 When this relation attribute is supplied the intent is to select records where the value of the access point as determined by the Use attribute is within the bounds specified by the term (where the term itself may be composed of several terms). A profile or implementor agreement may specify precisely what form a term should take when this relation attribute is used, and how the term specifies bounds. As an example, see the implementor agreement Linear Range Searching

Bib-1 Truncation Attributes -- Extensions

Name Value Semantics
Z39.58 (added at October, 1996 ZIG meeting) 104 Truncation as defined in Z39.58-1992, section 7.7.2: "Character Masking" (page 9); including subsections 7.7.2.1: "Variable number of characters", and 7.7.2.2: "Fixed number of characters". The rules governing the ussage of this attribute are explicitly articulated as follows (if this is inconsistent with Z39.58, these rules take precedence).

The character '?' (question mark) is used to mask a variable number of characters. It may be followed by a positive integer, i.e. one or more consecutive decimal digits (where the first is positive) in which the positive integer represented by the string of digits (beginning with the digit immediately following the '?', up to and not including the first non-digit character), indicates a range of characters to mask, from zero up to and including the specified integer.

When '?' is not immediately followed by a positive decimal digit, it indicates an arbitrary number of characters to mask (from zero to a system defined limit).

The character '#' (pound or number sign) is used to mask a single character. Multiple consecutive occurrences of '#' may be used to indicate a precise number of characters to mask.
