We use the standard country abbreviations like in Internet addresses.
Two countries have a special impact:
- gy (Guyana): if a file
extra.dbi is used, the issues are assumed to be of this country.
- zz: An issue index of this country is generated by COA. Its only purpose is to add web-input descriptions to the stories. Other information from zz.dbi is ignored.

Items in a DBI file that:
- have a storycode which starts with one of the autostoryitemstarts, and
- have a storycode that is "compatible" to the issuecode,
are regarded a "storyitem".
All lines in the file w.dbi that start with a 'W' are automatically considered storyitems.
NOTE: items in a DBI file that:
- have a storycode which starts with Q + countrycode + /, and
- have a storycode that is "compatible" to the issuecode,
are also regarded a "storyitem", even if this is not mentioned in autostoryitemstarts.
About storyitems, see also the DBI field storyitem. |
