VisualAge Help


Category

The Category pane in the upper left of the Script Editorprovides a list of categories that group scripts (or methods) together.

Categories tell users what the methods are for and whether restrictions apply to the methods. For example, -API in a category name denotes that IBM will try to support the category's methods across releases; -Internal (or anything other than -API) denotes that IBM reserves the right to change the category's methods in future releases. If you plan on using your code in future releases of VisualAge, your code should use -API methods and any methods that you create.

Viewing methods

Selecting one or more categories makes two changes in the Script Editor window:

To see what other categories a part (or class) contains, click on the instance/class push button below the pane.
