INTERFACEEND Verb
Syntax
INTERFACEEND
Description
In BBj 6.0 and higher, the INTERFACEEND
verb marks the end of a Custom
Object interface definition.
Notes
The INTERFACEEND verb must be the only statement
on the line (with one exception: it can end with a ; REM comment).
The INTERFACEEND verb is a syntax error
if it's not paired with a preceding INTERFACE verb.
The INTERFACEEND verb may not be nested
within any other CLASS, METHOD, or INTERFACE.
The
interface definition (the area between INTERFACE and INTERFACEEND) can
only contain METHOD statements. Any other statements or labels
contained within the interface definition are unreachable and will not
be executed.
An
interface is similar to a class except that an interface does not define
a method body. An interface definition can only contain METHOD statements.
Within an interface definition, all other Custom Object verbs are considered
to be a syntax error.
Example
rem ' Payroll
e1! = new Salaried() e1!.setID(1) e1!.setName("Mary Jones") e1!.setMonthlySalary(5000) e1!.print() print "GL Account:",e1!.account()
e2! = new Hourly() e2!.setID(2) e2!.setName("John Smith") e2!.setHourlyRate(15) e2!.setHoursWorked(168) e2!.print() print "GL Account:",e2!.account()
