2.2.7.1.9.4. Non-expansion of save-frame references

| top | pdf |

(32) Save frames are permitted in CIFs, but expressly for the purpose of encapsulating data-name definitions within data dictionaries. No reference to these save frames is envisaged, and the save-frame reference code permitted in STAR is not used. This means that unquoted character strings commencing with the $ character may not be interpreted as save-frame codes in CIF. Use of such unquoted character strings is reserved to guard against subsequent relaxation of this constraint.
