The result of this operation is not an 
<a href="glossary.xml#AD of Base" target="_top"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>AD&#xA0;of&#xA0;Base</span></a>
 object.
Thus it will not be recorded as part of an
AD of 
<code><i><font color="black"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>Base</span></font></i></code>

<a href="glossary.xml#Operation.Sequence" target="_top"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>operation&#xA0;sequence</span></a>

<code><i><font color="black"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>x</span></font></i></code>
 is a 
<a href="glossary.xml#Variable" target="_top"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>variable</span></a>
 its dependency information 
would not be included in the <code><font color="blue">Value</font></code> result (see above).
For this reason,
the argument 
<code><i><font color="black"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>x</span></font></i></code>
 must be a <a href="glossary.xml#Parameter" target="_top"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>parameter</span></a>
; i.e.,
it cannot depend on the current
<a href="glossary.xml#Tape.Independent Variable" target="_top"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>independent&#xA0;variables</span></a>
.

The file

contains an example and test of this operation.
