Reflection — using the Progress.Lang.Class class

Reflection is the ability to get type information about a class or interface at run time. This information describes the non-private components of the class or interface. The Progress 4GL provides basic reflection support using the built-in Progress class, Progress.Lang.Class. This support allows you to get basic information about the type and hierarchy of a class-based object.

Note: In a future OpenEdge release, Progress.Lang.Class will provide more complete reflection support.
