reflect.Method.getReturnType

Returns the type of a return value of a method.

Syntax

getReturnType(
     index INTEGER )
  RETURNS reflect.Type
  1. index is the ordinal position of the return value.

Usage

The getReturnType() method returns a reflect.Type object representing the type of the return value at the specified index, for the method represented by this reflect.Method object.

The reflect.Method object used to call this method must have been created with the reflect.Type.getMethod() method, from a reflect.Type object created with a RECORD with methods, or and INTERFACE type.

Example

IMPORT reflect
TYPE Customer INTERFACE
        create(id INTEGER, name VARCHAR(30)) RETURNS SMALLINT,
        delete(id INTEGER) RETURNS SMALLINT
    END INTERFACE
FUNCTION main()
    DEFINE typ reflect.Type
    DEFINE met reflect.Method
    DEFINE cus Customer
    LET typ = reflect.Type.typeOf(cus)
    LET met = typ.getMethod(1)
    DISPLAY "return type 1 = ", met.getReturnType(1).toString()
END FUNCTION
Shows:
return type 1 = SMALLINT
