Declaring class outsside program block

Sorry for my earlier code for not following the rules, i have correct the format of the code now. class gen; endclass program test; endprogram; Sundar

Sundar,
 >> Is it possible to declare class outside the program block like bellow?

Yes, language allows it though I personally discourage it - atleast encapsulate them under packages. I know some debug tools today work best if classes are declared inside program.

Hello Ajeetha,
Thanks a lot for your mail, as you mentioned its always better to encapsulate it in package, i also feel that's the good practice.
But one query, if a class is encapsulated inside package is it possible to use the class itself, as far my knowledge about SV(i have very little knowledge) only task defined in the package can be used not the class is that correct?

Hi Sundar,
You can encapsulate the class inside a package and whenever you want to use this class, just "import" that package. You can import the package using following

import ::*;

then you can easily use the class and its all properties and methods which were declared in that package.

The command for importing the package is

import package_name::*;

sorry, i missed it in last mail.
