AdvPL language structure

Separates declaration, processing and return in a small routine.

01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

An AdvPL program groups routines with declarations, assignments, calls, directives, comments and control structures. PRW is a common source extension, not proof of RPO compilation. Indentation improves readability without replacing language delimiters. The example localizes its authored variable while keeping the same sequence: declare a fixed value, calculate and return. The include is an explicit environment dependency. (TOTVS, n.d., ref. 1)

03 · PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

Commented example

#Include "Protheus.ch"
User Function Ed366()
    Local nQuantity := 3
    // Separate declaration and transformation for readability.
    nQuantity := nQuantity + 1
Return nQuantity

Expected result

Expected return: 4. Under review: editorial example neither compiled nor run in Protheus. Check includes, release, RDD and context before testing.

BEST PRACTICES

Compile in the matching environment before considering the routine available.
