To Create a Data Type with Several Independent Criteria

You can create a data type with several independent criteria—that is, the file is assigned to the data type if it meets either (or both) of the criteria.

1. Create the DATA_ATTRIBUTES definition for the data type.

2. Create a DATA_CRITERIA definition for each criteria.

   Use the DATA_ATTRIBUTES_NAME field to connect each criteria to the same DATA_ATTRIBUTES definition.

   For example, the following definitions create the Mif data type. Typing is based on name or content.

   DATA_ATTRIBUTES Mif
   {
    	ICON								Frame
    	ACTION_LIST						Open,Print
    }
   
    DATA_CRITERIA Mif_Name_Criteria
    {
    	DATA_ATTRIBUTES_NAME				Mif
    	NAME_PATTERN							*.mif
    }
   
    DATA_CRITERIA Mif_Content_Criteria
    {
    	DATA_ATTRIBUTES_NAME		Mif
    	CONTENT							1 string MIFFile
    }
