User-defined function

[fabricio venancio]

Hi friends

I saw in Uniface 9.4 library an user-defined function example:

entry MULTIPLY
returns numeric

params
numeric PAR1: IN
numeric PAR2: IN
endparams

variables
numeric MultiplyResult
endvariables

MultiplyResult = PAR1 * PAR2
return MultiplyResult
end

To use this function:

$1 = MULTIPLY(2, 4)
; $1 equals 8

Where can I write this function to use it in all of forms?

Library -> Global procs?

Thanks a lot

Hello Fabricio,

we don't use this in global procs, but it may be works.
We prefer use it in include proc, and it's working well.
Of course, we have to recompile all components if there are notable
changes, or some components in case of minor change, but not release the
.dol file; that's our choice.

for example:

;include-proc mybib:myincludeproc

entry MULTIPLY
returns numeric
params
numeric PAR1: IN
numeric PAR2: IN
endparams
variables
numeric MultiplyResult
endvariables

MultiplyResult = PAR1 * PAR2
return MultiplyResult

end MULTIPLY


;Local proc module of mycomponent
#include mybib:myincludeproc

entry dosomething
variables
numeric theResult
endvariables

theResult = MULTIPLY(3, 4); maybe twelve ?

end dosomething


Hope it's helping you,

Philippe.

Hi,
you could create it as a global proc for wide release and then use it as if it was an include proc for a limited release by using #entry in your component
e.g. #entry mylib:multiply

for a global proc called multiply in library mylib
#entry is un-documented though (at least as of 9.02.01)
