DESCRIPTION

The OBJECT_ASSIGN() macro is used to assign a name to an instantiated object. You must assign a name to an object when it is passed as a value to set a property.

EXAMPLE

The following example instantiates an object from a system class EXCEPTION and assigns it to the ObjValue property in a class called clsMyClass.

Example Recital program:

test = newobject("myclass")
// Instantiate an EXCEPTION object and assign it to the property ObjValue 
test.objvalue=newobject("exception")

Example in 'C' object:

#include "dbapi.h"
 
/* define set property method */
DEFINE_PROPERTYSET(clsMyClass, ObjValue) 
{
	struct example_data *objectData = (struct example_data *)OBJECT_GETDATA();
	OBJECT	objvalue;
	int		rc = OBJECT_ERROR;
 
	if (OBJECT_GETTYPE() == 'O') {
		objvalue = OBJECT_GETOBJECT(); 
		objectData->prop_objvalue = OBJECT_ASSIGN(objvalue, objectData->object_name);
		rc = OBJECT_SUCCESS;
	}
 
	return(rc);
}
