In certain circumstances(paragraph 9c of FIPS 127.1) you may choose to use
a nonstandard language extension (e.g. a COMPLEX data type for a FORTRAN application). It is required that the flagger detect all direct occurrences of such extensions. However, there is no requirement to detect secondary references to a non-standard extension. Secondary references may include variables,
parameters, views, or other database identifiers that do not themselves violate syntax rules, but refer to an object that is non-standard or contain a non-standard extension. ALLBASE/SQL does not flag references to non-standard objects. For example, in the following statement, the use of View1.v1 in another
SQL statement would be a secondary reference to the non-standard object View1 which contains the extension COUNT(*).
CREATE VIEW View1(v1) AS SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Table1;
