A 4-bit field (CMPSCDICT_SD_SIBCT) specifying the number of
sibling characters. The number of sibling characters is limited to
14. If this field is 15, it indicates that there are 14 sibling characters
associated with this entry and that there is another sibling descriptor
entry, which describes additional children. That sibling descriptor
entry is located at dictionary entry this-sibling-descriptor-index
+ 15. If there are 1 to 6 sibling characters, they are contained in
this entry, and the dictionary entries for those characters are located
at this-sibling-descriptor-index + n, where n is 1 to 6. If there
are 7 to 14 sibling characters, the first 6 are as described above,
and characters 7 through 14 are located in the expansion dictionary
entry. (See Sibling descriptor extension entry (DSECT CMPSCDICT_SDE).) The index of the character entry
is this-sibling-descriptor-index. The number of sibling characters
should not be 0.
YYYYYYYYYYYY
A 12-bit field (CMPSCDICT_SD_EXSIB), one for each sibling character,
indicating whether to examine the character entries for sibling characters
1 through 12. Recall that the examine-sibling indicator for sibling
characters 13 and 14 for the first sibling descriptor is in the character
entry field CMPSCDICT_CE_EXSIB. If this is not the first sibling
descriptor for the child entry, then the character entries for sibling
characters 13 and 14 are examined irregardless. The bit is ignored
if the sibling does not exist.
SC
Sibling character. Sibling characters 8 through 14 are in the
expansion dictionary. (See Sibling descriptor extension entry (DSECT CMPSCDICT_SDE).) The 6-character
field (CMPSCDICT_SD_CHILDCHAR) is provided to contain the sibling
characters. The index of the character entry for sibling character n is this-sibling-descriptor-index + n-1.
