ODC_Variable - Variable definition
Inherits:
SDB_Member
Variables are used in order to define parameters, global variables or constants. In ODE, variables are defined as global resources, i.e. variables can be referenced as parameter or return value in any number of functions or function implementations.
Since variables are development resources, documentation and notices are supported for variables.
Notes:
Sharing variables is an advantage, since variables need to be documented only once. On the other hand, one must be careful, since changing a variable specification may affect many functions.
