kexpr_parent_set - set the parent variable list associated with an id
LIBRARY CALL
int kexpr_parent_set(
long id,
long parent)
INPUT
id - the id variable (for the child) in which to set the
parent variable list.
parent - the id variable for the parent.
OUTPUT
none
RETURN VALUE
TRUE (1) if the child's parent variable list was set to that
of the parent, FALSE (0) otherwise
DESCRIPTION
This routine sets the child alternate variable list
specified by the parent id. This variable list
will be searched when a variable is not found in
the current variable list. If the parent's variable
list "parent" is set then the procedure is repeated
until either the variable is found or no more
variable lists are available to search. In short, this
routine provides a method of expanding the scope
of variables used.
