To allow calling GeneXus objects dynamically, i.e., call(&program)

Values

No No objects are called. This is the default value.
Yes Capability to call objects

Description

This feature allows the specifier to transform a dynamic call (referencing a variable or attribute as first parameter) into a DO CASE, with as many CASEs as programs exist in the KB, with the same number and type of parameters referenced in the CALL.

This feature applies to the Call and Link command. If the name specified is a GeneXus object, it will be called (or linked). Otherwise, the Call or Link is made with the specified name.

The GX CALLs tree is updated, thus allowing to have information regarding who calls whom.

For RPG and Cobol, the parameters type control is by equal (exact) definition. For the rest of generators the criteria is the following: 

  • Numeric ones must be exactly the same, regardless of having a sign or not.

  • Character type parameters (Char, VarChar and LongVarChar) are considered equal, and control is made as corresponding, if the calling parameter length is shorter or equal to the length of the parameter called.

  • The objects that the generator cannot generate are excluded from the call expansion.
