Expression Positions in Release 7.0, EhP2
1. Using functions and expressions
3. Predefined functions with multiple arguments
Note
The program DEMO_EXPRESSIONS shows examples of the enhanced expressions in Release 7.0, EhP2.
Using Functions and Calculation Expressions
The usability of functions and expressions in operand positions has been substantially improved in Release 7.0, EhP2:
From Release 7.0, EhP2, the following general expression positions are available:
Before Release 7.0, EhP2, operand positions on the right side of assignments with = were the only general expression positions.
Note
From EhP1, the character-like arguments of description functions are (with one exception)
character-like expression positions. Before EhP1, they were character-like
functional operand positions.
Method Chainings
As well as the previous chained names,
operand positions that accept functional methods now also accept
method chainings, that is
chained method calls and
chained attributes accesses.
Predefined Functions with Multiple Arguments
Release 7.0, EhP2 introduces new predefined functions that can now accept multiple arguments. A predefined function of this type is called in the same way as a functional method with multiple input parameters.
... func( p1 = arg1 p2 = arg2 ... ) ...
The new functions are include:
