Progress.Lang.Object provides a common set of properties and methods that all classes inherit. This set of properties and methods let you write common code to use with any user-defined class.
Progress.Lang.Object is the root (ultimate super) class for all ABL classes and for all .NET classes referenced in an ABL session.
Serializable:
Yes
Constructors
PUBLIC Object ( )
Super Class
This class does not inherit a super class.
Interfaces
This class does not implement interfaces (beyond those it inherits from its base class).
You typically use this class to define a variable or parameter to represent more than one user-defined class type. For example:
When defining a field in a temp-table as a class, you must specify the class as Progress.Lang.Object.
When defining common methods to use with object instances of different user-defined classes, you must define their parameters using the Progress.Lang.Object class.
