Object References

Object references can point to instances of classes. The static type of their reference variables is either a class or an interface. You can use both types to generate objects with the statement CREATE OBJECT.

• Class reference variables allow access to all visible components of a class.

• Interface reference variables restrict the view of the interface components of a class.

Object references are always heap references.
