Libraries

667

A 

Private

 library object does not appear in the Catalog, but you can 

access it by typing its name. Private objects serve well as building blocks 
that perform basic, low-level tasks. Typically, private library objects are 
called upon by the public functions and programs.

A 

Public

 library object appears in the Catalog’s library tab after you 

refresh the libraries. You can access a public library object through the 
Catalog or by typing its name.

Macintosh® only: In version 1.4 of the software, a library document 
name cannot contain extended characters, such as Ö, á, or ñ.

Note:

 In library programs and functions defined as public, a comment 

line (©) immediately following the 

Prgm

 or 

Func

 line is automatically 

displayed as help in the Catalog. You could, for example, show a syntax 
reminder there.

Using short and long names

Anytime you are in the same problem where an object is defined, you 
can access it by entering its short name (the name given in the object’s 

Define

 command). This is the case for all defined objects, including 

private, public, and non-library objects.

You can access a library object from any document by typing the object’s 
long name. A long name consists of the name of the object’s library 
document followed by a backslash “\” followed by the name of the 
object. For example, the long name of the object defined as 

func1

 in the 

library document 

lib1

 is 

lib1\func1

. To type the “\” character on the 

handheld, press 

g p

.

Note:

 If you cannot remember the exact name or the order of arguments 

required for a private library object, you can open the library document 
or use the Program Editor to view the object. You also can use 

getVarInfo

 to view a list of objects in a library.

Using library objects

Before using a library variable, function, or program, make sure that 
these steps have been followed:

•

The object has been defined with the 

Define

 command, and the 

command specifies either the LibPriv or LibPub attribute.

•

The object resides in the first problem of a library document. The 
document must reside in the designated library folder and must meet 
the naming requirements.

•

If you defined the object using the Program Editor, it has been stored 
using 

Check Syntax & Store

 from the Program Editor menu.
