WITH ... ENDWITH provides a convenient way to specify a number of properties for a single object. Note that you can also execute methods from within a WITH ... ENDWITH structure.
The following example creates a custom class name Employee. After the Employee class has been created with CREATEOBJECT( ), WITH ... ENDWITH is used to set multiple properties for the class. The properties values are then displayed.
moemployee = CREATEOBJECT('employee')
WITH moemployee
.First_Name = 'John'
.Last_Name = 'Smith'
.Address = '16 Maple Lane'
.HireDate = {^1998-02-16}
ENDWITH
CLEAR
? moemployee.First_Name + ' '
?? moemployee.Last_Name
? moemployee.Address
? moemployee.HireDate
DEFINE CLASS employee AS CUSTOM
First_Name = SPACE(20)
Last_Name = SPACE(20)
Address = SPACE(30)
HireDate = { - - }
ENDDEFINE
