Interface IPDIRegister

All Superinterfaces:

IPDIRegisterDescriptor, IPDISessionObject, IPDISet, IPDIVariable, IPDIVariableDescriptor

public interface IPDIRegister
extends IPDIVariable, IPDIRegisterDescriptor

A register is special kind of variable that is contained in a register group. Each register has a name and a AIF value

Method Summary

void	dispose() Remove the variable from the manager list
boolean	equals(IPDIVariable variable) Determines whether both variables are the same
IAIF	getAIF(IPDIStackFrame context) Returns AIF value of this variable
boolean	isEditable() Returns whether the value of this variable could be changed
void	setValue(String expression) Sets value of this variable by given expression
