INTERFACE - DEFERRED

Short Reference

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Syntax

INTERFACE intf DEFERRED [PUBLIC]. 

Effect

This variant of the INTERFACE statement is used to declare the interface intf independently of the location of the actual definition in the program. It does not introduce a declaration section nor can it be completed using ENDINTERFACE. The meaning is the same as for the corresponding variants of the CLASS statement.

Note

This variant of the statement INTERFACE can also only be listed in the context described under INTERFACE.
