CA Gen Incremental Release 2 › User-Added Functions in Action Diagrams

User-Added Functions in Action Diagrams

CA Gen has added the mechanism to work with user-added functions in an action diagram. The following are the pre-defined functions for BLOB attributes:

concatblob

Concatenates two BLOBs together.

substrblob

Splits part of a BLOB from a larger one.

lengthblob

Returns the length of the given BLOB.

blobdbcs

Converts a BLOB type into a DBCS type.

blobmbcs

Converts a BLOB type into an MBCS type.

blobtext -

Converts a BLOB type into a TEXT type.

dbcsblob

Converts a DBCS type into a BLOB type.

mbcsblob

Converts an MBCS type into a BLOB type.

textblob

Converts a TEXT type into a BLOB type.

Notes:

• These functions are implemented as user-added functions and thus are only added to the model when the function is actually used. For more information about how the functions are implemented, see the User-Added Functions in Action Diagram article.
• For more information about the BLOB Functions in an action diagram, see the Toolset Help.
