Functional Operand Positions

Functional operand positions are reader positions, in which suitable data objects and functional methods or method chainings plus constructor expressions and table expressions whose return values or results have a suitable data type, can be specified. The following functional operand positions exist:

Note

Alongside the regular functional operand positions, three extended functional operand positions exist that can be used to specify certain predefined functions. These operand positions are obsolete and should no longer be used.
