4.15.2 Automatic Functions, Manual Functions and their RDML Commands
This chapter has already described how LANSA works with 2 different types of functions.
- The first is the "automatically" defined function. These have been automatically generated by the Application Template Facility.
- The second is the "manually" defined function. The RDML commands associated with a manually defined function are input directly by the user.

For either "automatic" or "manual" functions, it is the associated RDML commands that are actually compiled in an executable program.
In addition, the RDML program associated with an automatic or a "manual" function can be reviewed and amended using the facilities described in this section.
