ABL User Defined DataTypes

Tue, 2009-03-03 20:20 — OneVue

When running the joanju_testrun we get the following error with regards to user defined data types:

BLUtilities.cls:36:3: unexpected token: GET

Code Example:

DEFINE PUBLIC PROPERTY EnumOrderStatus AS common.EnumOrderStatus
GET:
RETURN objEnumOrderStatus.
END GET.

Is this supported?

Thanks in advance.

parens

Hi Rod, for a GET implementation, proparse expects the parens () as documented in the language ref, ie:

DEFINE PUBLIC PROPERTY EnumOrderStatus AS common.EnumOrderStatus
GET():
RETURN objEnumOrderStatus.
END GET.

You don't need the parens if there is no implementation:

DEFINE PUBLIC PROPERTY EnumOrderStatus2 AS progress.lang.Object
GET.

The fact that the compiler doesn't require the parens is not documented, and not currently supported in Proparse.

Regards,
John

Has this been fixed or enhanced yet?

Well, it might not be documented like that, but in fact the OpenEdge Architect templates used for inserting properties with a GET implementation do not add parens as well.

So I'd assume there a bunch of class files using GETters without parents.

issue created

Yuk. I didn't realize Architect was using this undocumented feature.

I created an Issue in the Proparse Project www.oehive.org/node/1488.

This one really shouldn't take long to fix at all.
