Purpose of Method Attributes

Specifying attributes in the class definition enables you to customize the behavior of

methods for specific purposes. Control characteristics like access, visibility, and

implementation by setting method attributes. Subclasses do not inherit superclass

member attributes.

Specifying Method Attributes

Assign method attributes on the same line as the methods keyword:

methods (Attribute1 = value1, Attribute2 = value2,...)

...

end

For more information on attribute syntax, see “Attribute Specification” on page 5-22.

Table of Method Attributes

Attributes enable you to modify the behavior of methods. All methods support the

attributes listed in the following table.

Attribute values apply to all methods defined within the methods...end code block that

specifies the nondefault values.
