_item_type_list.construct

Definition:

   
    When a data value can be defined as a pre-determined sequence of
    characters, optional characters  or data names (for which the
    definition is also available), it is specified as a construction.
    The rules of construction conform to the the regular expression
    (REGEX) specifications detailed in IEEE (1991).
    Resolved data names for which _item_type_list.construct
    specifications exist are replaced by these constructions,
    otherwise the data-name string is not replaced.
