Overloading with ANY

As with PML functions, the type of a method argument may be specified as ANY. If method overloading is being used, PML will invoke the method with a matching set of explicitly-typed arguments in preference to calling a method with arguments of type ANY, irrespective of the order the methods appeared in the object definition file:

define method .SetValue( !Argument Is ANY)

define method .SetValue( !Argument Is REAL)

Then:

!SomeObject.SetValue(100)

This will invoke the method with the REAL argument, but:

!SomeObject.SetValue(‘Priceless’ )

will invoke the method with the ANY argument.
