Introducing the Meta Catalog : Reference : ABL annotation syntax
 

ABL annotation syntax

ABL annotations are always on a separate line from other code. The compiler treats any line that starts with the "at" symbol ( @ ) as a ABL annotation.
Note: Annotation syntax must begin with a non-numeric.
The ABL Annotation syntax is as follows: @annotation[(attribute = "value"[,attribute = "value"]...)].
annotation: The annotation's name can be any character string that you choose.
attribute: The attribute's name can be any character string that you choose. Attribute/value pairs are optional.
value: The value can be any character string that you choose. Attribute/value pairs are optional.
