Programmer's Reference
The following methods are String and DBString
instance methods.
asClassPoolKey, asGlobalKey, asPoolKey
- Note:
- The messages asClassPoolKey, asGlobalKey, and
asPoolKey are not in the Blue Book. They have been added to
IBM Smalltalk to provide developers with a way to ensure that class variables,
global variables, and pool dictionary keys have the class that is correct for
the platform (usually either String or Symbol).
IBM Smalltalk will not accept class variables, global variables, or pool
dictionary keys containing characters whose value exceeds 255;
consequently asClassPoolKey, asGlobalKey, and
asPoolKey messages will not be useful if sent to a
DBString that contains these characters.
- Porting tip:
- Neither Smalltalk/V nor Objectworks\Smalltalk support
asClassPoolKey, asGlobalKey, or
asPoolKey.
