Package com.ibm.able.data

The ABLE data package defines classes for literals (constants) and variables used in expressions holding Java and user-defined data types as well as operators which can be applied to them.

Description

Interface Summary

AbleDataContext	This interface defines the behavior of a data Context provider which is used by all Variables in the data package.
AbleField	AbleField defines a basic field for use in data sources and inferencing.
AbleRd	This class defines the interface for "Readable" data objects; that is, classes that implement this interface can appear on the righthand side of assignment and comparative clauses.
AbleWr	This class defines the interface for "Writable" data objects; that is, classes that implement this interface can appear on the lefthand side of assignment clauses.

Class Summary
