DID Defined function

A DID Defined Function is a function that is defined in the DID. The function performs an operation on a host system. Each DID Defined function has zero or more formal parameters and a single result. The method that is to be called when the function is accessed is also defined in the DID.

The operations that a DID Defined Function can perform depend on the Connection Type. You could for example use a DID Defined Function in order to calculate totals, subtotals or averages or use a DID Defined Function to update records in the database.

A function can also technically be seen as an Entry that yields exactly one record that has a single Field.

A DID Defined function is also called a Standard User Defined Function, User Defined Function or Standard Function.
