ZIM’s Auxiliary Relationships are predefined relationships to associate Data Dictionary objects thus speeding Zim applications development.

NAME	MEANING
EntFields	It’s a relationship between EntitySets and their associated Fields.
RelFields	It’s a relationship between Relationships with fields and their associated Fields.
DocFields	It’s a relationship between Documents with fields and their associated Fields.
EntRoles	It’s a relationship between EntitySets and their associated Roles.
RelRoles	It’s a relationship between Relationships and their associated Roles.
FormFormFields	It’s a relationship between Forms and their associated FormFields.
DispDispForms	It’s a relationship between Displays and the Forms belonging to these Displays.
MenuFormFields	It’s a relationship between Menus and their associated FormFields.

When a new Zim database is first created, the above auxiliary relationships are also automatically created to be used in Zim development.

To find all fields belonging to the entity sets “Customers” and “Invoices”:

find Ents EntFields Fields where Ents.EntName in ("Customers", "Invoices") -> sMySet

Check whether there are any relationships with fields:

find Rels RelFields Fields
if $SetCount = 0
    out "No Relationships with Fields"
endif
