Description

PQCNRS queries the PHIGS state list and returns the conflict resolution flags, as set by the PSCNRS function.  You set these flags as a data protection measure.  Digital PHIGS uses the archival conflict resolution flag to control what happens when an application tries to archive structures whose identifiers already exist in the archive file.  The retrieval conflict resolution flag performs a similar function for structures in the CSS.
