<b>Function</b>
<dd>
Opens a package context.
<p>
<dt>
<b>Syntax</b>
<dd>
<tt>package(identifier) statement</tt>
<p>
<dt>
<b>Description</b>
<dd>
The <tt>package</tt> statement opens a package context if the current editor
window contains a package drawing. A variable of type
<a href=181.htm>UL_PACKAGE</a> is created and is given
the name indicated by <tt>identifier</tt>.
<p>
Once the package context is successfully opened and a package variable has been
created, the <tt>statement</tt> is executed. Within the scope of the
<tt>statement</tt> the package variable can be accessed to retrieve further
data from the package.
<p>
If the current editor window does not contain a package drawing, an error
message is given and the ULP is terminated.

<p>
<b>Check if there is a package</b>
<p>
By using the <tt>package</tt> statement without an argument you can check
if the current editor window contains a package drawing. In that case,
<tt>package</tt> behaves like an integer constant, returning <tt>1</tt> if
there is a package drawing in the current editor window, and <tt>0</tt>
otherwise.
<p>
<b>Example</b>
<pre>
if (package)
   package(P) {
     P.contacts(C)
       printf("Contact: %s\n", C.name);
     }
</pre>
