I am not aware that ILOG supports the kind of "slotted relations" BLD
does, that we call NAUs: what construct do you have in mind, specifically?

Do you mean that you do not want to bind an explicit variable? Like in:
If exists Person(name=="mark", age==32)
then Print("There is at least one 32 years old named Mark")
If yes, that is more like anonymous frames than NAU (but I must admit
that I never quite understood what NAU really are); and, indeed, ILOG
supports that.
If no, can you clarify, please?
Cheers,
Christian
