Syntax 

GetClass ( object-type-name )

object-type-name

A CHARACTER expression that evaluates to a fully qualified object type name.

If object-type-name does not evaluate to a valid ABL class or interface type, this method returns the Unknown value (?).

Note:

Because the Progress.Lang.Class class has a private constructor, you cannot inherit from it. Therefore you must always invoke this static method using its class type name.
