Example 9: The power of Inheritance

The keyword "USE" allows you to inherit from other Objects. Example:-


;;This defines a style named "MyStyleBold"
[Style: MyStyleBold]
    Font: Verdana
    Bold: Yes
    Height: 8


;;This defines a style named "MyStyleBoldLarge" that inherits from style "MyStyleBold"
[Style: MyStyleBoldLarge]
    Use: MyStyleBold
    Height: 15

You may define Objects that inherit from any other User-defined Object or even from the default TDL Objects. In simple words, you can define a report which inherits from the default TDL report "Balance Sheet" and then you may customize it as per your requirement.
