Imagine that @KEYthat @KEY:ALLTESTNO,TestDescr$ is placed in the dataslot of an object PROGRAMobject PROGRAM . It means that particular case values in the PROGRAM object the PROGRAM object can be associates to a current object (in which the key parameters are used) by means of the key paremeters ALLTESTNO ALLTESTNO and TestDescr$.
All the case values of PROGRAM will be inherited in the object that uses the keys, hence the possibility in Quaestor to see local an inherited data (see also the "Don't show inherited data in Workbase" option in the Appearance tab of the Options window ). Inherited data will show in either blue (values from above the child object) or magenta (values linked by means of the key parameters).
