Procedure property sheet Parameters tab

The Parameters tab of a procedure lists the call parameters of the procedure function. For example, in procedure GetCustomer, you could define the following parameters:


Each parameter contains the following properties:

Property Description
Name The name of the item which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users
Code The technical name of the item used for generating code or scripts, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces
Comment Descriptive comment for the object
Stereotype Extends the semantics of an object derived from existing objects but specific to your needs. You can type stereotypes directly in the Stereotype box of the object property sheet or select a value from the list if you have previously defined stereotypes in an embedded or imported extended model definition (.XEM).
Procedure Name of the procedure function to which the parameter belongs.
Data type Form of the data corresponding to the parameter, such as numeric, alphanumeric, boolean, or others.
Length Maximum length of the data type.
