When selected, turns attributes into table format
|
|
Array size

Specifies an accurate array size when the attribute multiplicity is greater than 1.
|
|
Variable Argument
|
Specifies that the method can take a variable number of parameters for a given argument. You can only select this property if the parameter is the last in the list.
|
|
Parameter Type
|
Direction of information flow for the parameter. Indicates what is returned when the parameter is called by the operation during the execution process. You can choose from the following:
-
In - Input parameter passed by value. The final value may not be modified and information is not available to the caller
-
In/Out - Input parameter that may be modified. The final value may be modified to communicate information to the caller
-
Out - Output parameter. The final value may be modified to communicate information to the caller
|
|
Default value
|
Default value when a parameter is omitted. For example:
Use an operation oper(string param1, integer param2), and specify two arguments oper(val1, val2) during invocation. Some languages, like C++, allow you to define a default value that is then memorized when the parameter is omitted during invocation.
If the declaration of the method is oper(string param1, integer param2 = default), then the invocation oper(val1) is similar to oper(val1, default).
