Quiz question

[Robert Deskin]

According to the QUIZ manual, a DEFINE based on an expression is evaluated for every record complex as soon as the data referenced is available. If the data referenced doesn’t change, then the value of the DEFINE won’t change.

Here’s the discussion from the 8.4G QUIZ manual:
The DEFINE statement calculates expressions or comparisons that are calculated for each record complex. The expression is calculated once for every record complex as soon as the data required is available.

The purpose of the DEFINE statement is to combine and manipulate data contained in files or to create a new item not contained in a record complex. The DEFINE statement is evaluated as soon as the data required for that evaluation becomes available. The DEFINE statement is re-evaluated based on default values if the record on which it depends is not retrieved.
