Detailed Description

Abstract base type for declarations

The abstract Declaration type is used for declarations in the global, local and parameter declaration blocks. It is the base for all parameter, constant and variable declarations. The visibility of declared identifiers depends on the location of the declaration and of the Visibility modifier. Every declaration is composed of a name (the identifier) and a data type.

Note

Declarations will be processed before procedure execution.

Data type assignment

For each OTX data type, there are different rules concerning the declaration and especially the initialisation of identifier values. An overview about the possible data types that can be assigned to an identifier at declaration time is given in the following picture.

Cardinality [0..1]
For declarations at specification stage, having a name for the declaration is sufficient. For realisation stage, the declaration needs a data type assignment. The optional realisation element is used for exactly this task – it contains a dataType sub element.
