Overriding an Attribute in PowerBuilder

The Inherited Attributes dialog box allows you to:


Within the context of an inheritance, you can add an attribute that belongs to a parent class to a child class. This is called overriding. The attribute of the parent class is said to be overriden when this attribute is redefined in a child class.

Once you add an attribute to a class, you can only modify the initial value of the attribute. You cannot modify other attribute properties.
