Syntax Notation Conventions

Method usage syntax in both the individual listings for each logic command and the Method Reference is expressed in UML notation.

Static methods

Static methods are indicated in syntax by underlined method names.

A static method is a member of its owner, rather than a member of an instance of its owner. In practice, this means that a static method can be called independently. You should consult an object-oriented reference for details if you are unsure of its meaning.

Refer to Method Invocation for more information on syntax.

Default parameter values

Parameters with default values are indicated in syntax by an equal sign (=).

A parameter with a default value assumes that value if it is not expressly specified in the method invocation.

Example

The Store method has the following syntax:

<<persistent class>>::Store() : void

It can be invoked in the following way:

Cust.Store(Glb.Add)
