getFameAttribute(attribute, fname, db) getFameCreated(fname, db) getFameUpdated(fname, db)
attribute |
string naming the attribute to be returned |
fname |
name of an object in a FAME database |
db |
string giving the relative or full path to the Fame database to read
or write from. If the fameLocalPath() function is defined, it
will be called on this argument to obtain a path. At the Federal
Reserve Board, fameLocalPath() knows how to look up the path
for 'registered' databases given only their names, e.g., "us",
"intl", and so on. Full path names are thus unnecessary for
registered databases, and in fact are a bad idea, since the database
might get moved.

getFameAttribute
returns a named string.
getFameCreated
and getFameUpdated
each return a
POSIXlt
object.
