SUMMARY
The PROTECTED keyword of the DEFINE CLASS command can be used to protect the Properties, methods, and objects in a class definition. You may want to use the PROTECTED keyword to protect an array.



MORE INFORMATION
To protect an array property, use the keywords PROTECTED and DIMENSION on separate lines. For example, the following code would prevent the array from being changed outside of the CLASS: PROTECTED myarray[2] DIMENSION myarray[2] The following code appears to work, but the array isn't protected: PROTECTED DIMENSION myarray[2]
