Description
The OBJECT() function is used to create an anonymous object. Properties are declared in a comma-separated list. Properties can be values only, <property value>, in which case they are given an automatically generated name: 00000001, 00000002 ... Property names can be specified using the <property name> => <property value> syntax. The OBJECT() function can also be included within the <property value> definition. The OBJECT() function returns an object.
Example
customer = object("custname" => "A Buyer Ltd.", ; "currentorder" => object("ord_id" => "00001", "ord_date" => date(),"ord_total" => 1599,; "orderitems" => object("10 reams A4 paper","500 business cards",; "500 black ballpoint pens"))) display memory Memory Variables: ------------------------ CUSTOMER Object (refptr OBJECT, refcnt 1) .CUSTNAME Character 'A Buyer Ltd.' .CURRENTORDER Object (refptr OBJECT, refcnt 0) .ORD_ID Character '00001' .ORD_DATE Date 11/17/2009 .ORD_TOTAL Numeric 1599 (1599.000000000) .ORDERITEMS Object (refptr OBJECT, refcnt 0) .00000001 Character '10 reams A4 paper' .00000002 Character '500 business cards' .00000003 Character '500 black ballpoint pens' Total of 10 variables defined and 784 bytes used.
