| ☜ | Object UsageDraft MDC Standard | ☞ | ||||
An object is an identifiable, encapsulated entity that has state and that provides one or more services, called methods and properties. A service may be accessed from a routine. The only means of observing or changing the state or behavior of an object is by use of its service(s).
Objects are not named. A value of data type OREF (object reference) is a value that identifies an object in an implementation-specific way. A value may be of one of two data types: either data type OREF or data type MVAL.
A value of data type OREF may be assigned to an lvn and may be used only in certain specified contexts. (See 7.1.1.1.2 Values of data type OREF)
