Talk:OPERAT

raphael 20:33, 27 October 2009 (UTC): Ideas for a better name than OPERAT are welcome. The rationale for this variable and the reasons for not using "function" are at Talk:UKCVAR.

I suggest the following addition to the definition:

Remarks:

OPERAT is intended to be used in conjunction with other sub-attributes of a complex attribute to indicate how their values must be combined in order to describe a condition. Example: The combination

UKCLRN (complex attribute)
UKCFIX=2.5, UKCVAR=10.00, OPERAT=1 (sub-attributes)

indicates that the under-keel clearance required is the greater of 2.5 metres or 10% of the ship's draught.

jens 06:16, 28 October 2009 (UTC) I agree. The remarks are useful.
