FALSE otherwise.

Boolean value

Note: previous and next are the only selectables that continue to use the pre-V6R2012x pointers stored in Ixbo. As a result, pre-V6R2012x functionality is preserved for revision sequences that are either ONLY minor (the default) or ONLY major, since these sequences are strictly linear in both cases.

Starting in V6R2012x, the previous pointer is set for any object created with the Revise Major or Revise Minor command to point to the object from which it was created. The next pointer is set only for the Revise Minor command, but not for the Revise Major command.

In V6R2012x, the meaning of the previous and next pointers has changed such that:

• previous is equivalent to "revised from." Within a minor sequence this is still linear, but the first minor object may have a previous pointer back to something in an earlier family. This provides the "created from" pointer.
• As the next pointer is updated only by the Revise Minor command, there is only one and it points to the next object in the same minor revision family (or NULL).
• For object deletions, the previous/next pointers continue to be processed the same as prior to V6R2012x. When an object B is deleted, if it has a previous object A, the next pointer of object A is reset to the next pointer of object B. If B has a next object C, then C's previous pointer is reset to the previous pointer of object B. This maintains the meaning of previous/next as described in the first two bullets.
