Documentation
Definition
Indicator that the attribute value must be calculated.
A virtual attribute always requires implementation in the program for the object type, since a virtual attribute has no corresponding field content in the database, its value having yet to be determined or calculated.
Depending on implementation and the entry of the data type reference, it is necessary to distinguish between the following combinations:
- Source "virtual" - data type reference "Dict. field"
The attribute value calculated or determined in the program for the object type has the same data type as the referenced dictionary field.
- Source "virtual" - data type reference "object type"
The attribute value calculated or determined in the program for the object type references an object of the specified object type.
It is generally the case that double-spaced or wider attributes and attributes which reference an object with several key fields are implemented as virtual attributes.
