Syntax


PUBLIC SECTION. 

Effect

You can only use this statement in the declaration part of a class. It defines the public visibility section of the class class. All components of the class that are declared after the statement PUBLIC SECTION are accessible from outside the class, in their subclasses, and in the class itself as long as this permitted by the package concept. Public methods in particular can be redefined in subclasses.
