args _args

linbo

Can't find definitions or explanation of these two terms in cds documentation.  Could someone help (either with explanation or point me to documentation?)

 

Thanks in advance,

  •  Hi Lin,

    typically "args" would be used with something like a trigger function that automatically supplies arguments to the user-defined function.  In such situations "args" is used to gather input data in a structure, usually a disembodied property list.  For the purposes of SKILL Lint checking, if this argument is not used or referred to in the function, it would normally generate a warning (since the argument must be present, since this is how the trigger function is invoked by the tools), so here we can use "_args" to indicate that the argument is present, but we intentionally do not access it in the code.

    I hope that this explains things and answers your questions?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
