You can use the constructors in the following ways:
|
!D = OBJECT MDB(!!CE) |
|
|
!D = OBJECT MDB(!!CE Name |
|
|
!D = !!CE.MDB() |
|
|
!D = !!CE.Name.MDB() |
In all cases, !!CE is assumed to be a DB database element and !!CE.Name is a STRING object containing the element’s name.
These methods should assist performance improvements to AppWare by making it easier to get from Database element to Object.
