Legacy Tags¶

It is not recommended to use these tags anymore, but they are still supported for backward compatibility reasons.

~COMEMI¶

Use attribute VDA_EMCB via any regular Veda tag instead.

~PRCCOMEMI¶

Use attribute FLO_EMIS via any regular Veda tag instead.

~TFM_Fill¶

Use TFM_Fill-R instead.
