Using Functions/Subs from other PowerDesigner Extension (xem)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I like to structure my extensions to PowerDesigner in different XEMs.

My question is: How can I used functions defined in one XEM within another XEM?

Simply call the function by it's name is not enough (can not be found).

Also perpending the XEM-Name doesn't help.

Can you structure ones code in different XEMs or needs all code used be in one XEM?

Best regards

Boris

P.S.: Where are all those old questions gone? The website seem to be new.

Hello George,

thank you for pointing me to the archive!

And another thank you for the hint to an old, matching thread. It answers my question, but unfortunately one can not pass any parameters with the call (only way seem to be by passing it through the model. eg extended attributes).

Therefore I stick to one (or more) huge XEMs containing all necessary functions (even if this means to copy some helper functions).

Best regards

Boris
