It requires using the new TREE attribute of the #EMBED statement instead of a MAP atribute. This new TREE attribute is very nice. It is a vast improvement over the old MAP attribute. Using TREE, it is very easy to arrange embeds any way you like into a tree structure. Basically, any string used in this parameter that starts with 'Local Objects' will cause the embed to appear in the local objects list. I am using this attribute with UltraTree, when it is installed in C5. For the attribute parameter, I use a call to a #GROUP, which returns the string that determines placement of the embed into the embed tree. Because UltraTree is a master object that controls subsidiary objects, I structure the whole collection as a tree of objects under the controlling UltraTree object. Extremely simple to do. You can generate subheadings and all sorts of neat stuff. Perhaps this would make a good topic for an article in Clarion Magazine.
