LANSA RDMLX Object Types

You may wish to enable LANSA RDML Object types to become LANSA RDMLX Object Types for the following reasons:

• To enable the object to interact with newly created RDMLX objects. For example, a Fully Enabled RDMLX Component may use all RDMLX Field Types and RDMLX Files.

• To enable the object to use the RDMLX Language Features.

Note

• RDMLX Fields include all field types except alphanumeric. Refer to Field Types in the LANSA Technical Reference for a list and details of the field types available.

• RDMLX Files may use any type of field in the Repository.

• RDMLX Functions may use any type of field or file in the Repository. RDMLX Functions must use *DIRECT.

• An RDMLX Component is identified as being Enabled for RDMLX. A component must be Enabled for RDMLX in order to use other RDMLX objects and the RDMLX Language features.
  RDMLX Language features include:

• use of intrinsic field methods

• use of function libraries

• use of expressions in many parameters and properties

• enhanced RDMLX command support such as assignment statements

• simplified RDML statements due to the removal of quotes.

• A WAM (Web Application Module) is always an RDMLX Component.
