A 'controlling/dependent' set of attributes is two or more attributes that are associated
In an ACESS report, to see dependent attributes, controlling attributes must be specified.
In the Update processor, to see dependent attributes, controlling attributes must be specified.
The attributes dependent upon the controlling attribute must contain a 'd' (dependent) code in attribute 4.

id: order# quantity price ext.price
001 a a a a
002 3 4 5 6
003
004 c;4;5;6 d;3 d;3 d;3
In this example, 'order#' is the 'controlling' attribute
and 'controls' the values in attributes four, five and six. Each of
these three 'controlled' attributes must indicate in their
corresponding attribute-defining items that they are 'dependent' upon
attribute 3.
