RETURN-VALUE Attribute

The value returned.
NOTE: Applies only to user-defined functions, attributes, and methods.

NOTE: Supported only if the CALL-TYPE attribute is set to FUNCTION-CALL-TYPE or GET-ATTR-CALL-TYPE.

Data Type: The value of the RETURN-VALUE-DATA-TYPE attribute

Access: Readable

Applies To: CALL Object

The default is ? (the unknown value).

If you set the RETURN-VALUE-DATA-TYPE attribute to a particular data type before executing INVOKE(), the value returned is converted to that data type.

If RETURN-VALUE-DATA-TYPE is set to its default value or to the expected data type, when the dynamic invoke returns, the value returned by the user-defined function or attribute is not converted.
