Attributes for unit

the manipulation of the units needs some specifics attributes. We develop in this section some of the most frequently used.

  $\blacktriangleright$ unitVar.FILENAME
 
   This attribute returns the name of the file (path included) where the unit is defined.

  $\blacktriangleright$ unitVar.FILE
 
   This attribute returns the file data structure where the unit is defined. In this case, this variable nay be used in order to update in the file the unit while preserving other data

  $\vartriangleright$ Example 46:PRINT $cunit.SAVE("/tmp/newFile") // will store the unit in a new File

fileVar := $cunit.FILE PRINT fileVar.SAVE($cunit.FILENAME) // will store the unit in the same file // that where it is defined while keeping the other units which are also // defined in it.
