Functions

ASTER provides the ability to organize code into reusable blocks, called functions. Contrary to some popular programming languages, there is no direct support for procedures. All functions will return a value and require at least one parameter to be provided.

There is a set of Built-in functions provided and options to Defining your own functions for use in programs.

As ASTER is the solution for advanced data manipulation and complex validations within the Int4 Suite, it also provides a set of functions to interact with Int4 Suite test execution solution, including variables, test cases, test run data and test execution processing. To learn more about these functions, see Working with Int4 Suite.

For completeness, we describe the topic of Extending using ABAP programming techniques.
