/*DEPENDENCIES
 Dependencies
 
 The following are the procedures called by BFST_SUBT_GETROWID (listed in their
 order of call):
   - SWITCH.  This is the package that manipulates the switches for all
     the reconstruction rules.

   - RULES_STATES.  This is a package of three procedures and one function all
     of which track and post reconstruction states for all rules as they become
     available, in the temporary table LOGT.

   - RULE.  This is the stored package that manipulates the reconstruction rules
     numbers, name and version number.

   - OPEN_AND_PARSE.  This function combines what would otherwise have
     been separate calls to the native Oracle DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR and
     DBMS_SQL.PARSE procedures, into a single function.

   - DBMS_SQL.  This the native Oracle dynamic SQL package.

   - EXECUTE_AND_CLOSE.  This function combines what would otherwise have
     been separate calls to the native Oracle DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE and
     DBMS_SQL.CLOSE procedures, into a single function.

   - POST_STATE.  This is a package of three procedures and one function all
     of which serve the role of writing the states of all rules as they become
     available, in the system_state table.

   - LOG_FILE.  This is a package of procedures which handle the tasks of
     creating the file in which reconstruction output messages will be written
     to, writing to the latter file, and closing it at the end of
     reconstruction.

     not an UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE, this value should be ignored.

   - ROWID1 (ROWID).

   - ROWID2 (ROWID).
