01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

Static Function is used to split a routine into smaller parts without exposing every function to external calls. It helps organize internal rules, reduce coupling and keep the main User Function shorter and more readable.

02 · SYNTAX

Syntax

Static Function <Nome>()

03 · PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

Separating internal logic

#Include "TOTVS.ch"

User Function ExStatic()
    Local nTotal := CalculaTotal(10, 15)

    MsgInfo(CValToChar(nTotal), "Total")
Return

Static Function CalculaTotal(nValorA, nValorB)
Return nValorA + nValorB

Expected result

CalculaTotal() exists only for the current source and keeps the main routine simpler.

BEST PRACTICES

Use Static Function para regras auxiliares específicas daquele fonte.
Prefira nomes que indiquem claramente a responsabilidade da função.
Evite depender de variáveis Private; passe parâmetros quando possível.

COMMON PITFALLS

A Static Function should not be used as an external call point.
If the rule must be reused by many sources, consider a controlled User Function, class or shared library.
