Documentation

Definition

Expressions are the most important BRF objects alongside events and actions. An expression is characterized by the fact that it delivers a result. Each expression is therefore directly or indirectly derived from CL_EXPRESSION_BASE_BRF.

In an expression the following data is processed on the basis of a freely definable regulation (calculation rule, for example):

• Data of the application (such as data on the current claim in the Claims Management system)
• Data on the objects related to the application (related to the current claim in the Claims Management system)

When the data is processed, the expression yields a result with any primitive type (for example, Boolean, integer, character).
