Notes
This submodel is similar to functor Get Table From Key, except that if a key is not found, it retrieves the sub-table corresponding to the greatest key smaller than the given step. This is the same behavior adopted by functors like Select Lookup Table and Select Transition Matrix. Thus, the use of this submodel is advised as a suitable replacement for that functor family.
The differences between Select Sub Table and Get Table From Key can be seen below:
| Key1* | Key2* | Value1 | Value2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12 | “bbbb” | 23 |
| 5 | 12 | “cccc” | 23 |
| 5 | 11 | “bbbb” | 14 |
| 12 | 22 | “aaaa” | 23 |
Retrieving the sub-table corresponding to Key1 5 returns the following table for both operators:
| Key2* | Value1 | Value2 |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | “cccc” | 23 |
| 11 | “bbbb” | 14 |
However, retrieving the sub-table corresponding to Key1 4 fails for Get Table From Key, but returns
| Key2* | Value1 | Value2 |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | “bbbb” | 23 |
