Package root
|
Specifies a currently open project in which you want to the
Business entity class code and other project code. Click
Browse if you want to select a project
other than the current one (the default project). |
|
Package
|
(Optional) Specifies a package name, corresponding to a
sub-folder of the package root, to contain the Business entity class
file. Click Browse or type the folder path. A
period (.) must separate each subfolder from its parent folder in
the path name. |
|
Business entity name
|
(Required) Specifies the name of the Business entity class. The
name must begin with a letter; spaces and most non-alphanumeric
characters are not allowed. The .cls extension
will be appended automatically. Note: You cannot specify duplicate
class names under the same project root.

|
Final Modifier
|
Select this check box to specify that inheritance from this
Business entity class is disallowed. A FINAL keyword is included in
the generated ABL code. Note: A final class cannot be
abstract.
|
|
Abstract Modifier
|
Specifies that the Business entity class is
abstract and cannot be instantiated. An abstract class is designed
to serve as a super class from which other classes inherit and
implement members. Therefore, an abstract class cannot be final.
Note: If you select the Abstract check box, the
Expose as Data Object
Service check box on the next page of the wizard
will be disabled.

Widget Pool Modifier |
If selected, specifies that a USE-WIDGET-POOL keyword is
included in the generated ABL code. |
| Serializable Modifier |
If selected, marks the class as serializable by including the
SERIALIZABLE modifier in the generated ABL code. Note: If the
class inherits from a super class that is not serializable, then
it cannot be marked as serializable.
|
|
Inherits
|
Displays another Business entity class in the current project as
a super class from which the new class inherits state and behavior.
Click Browse to select a different class path
or enter the super class's name. A period (.) must separate each
node from its parent folder in the path name. Note: The super class
cannot be generic.
|
|
Implements
|
(Optional) Specifies one or more interfaces in the current
project that the class implements. Click Add
and select the desired interfaces at the Interface
Selection dialog. Use Remove
to remove an interface from those added to the list. Note: The class
cannot implement a generic interface.

Specifies that the Business entity class is to include a default
constructor method. |
|
Destructor

Specifies that the Business entity class is to include a
destructor method. |
|

If selected, specifies that "METHOD NOT IMPLEMENTED" error code
is added to stubs for members implemented via interface and stubs
for inherited abstract members. |
