The annotation argument list (text between the parentheses)
pcParameterName CHARACTER
The name of the parameter to return (e.g. entityname, type)
Returns CHARACTER

LOGICAL IsWhitespace (character)
Purpose: Returns TRUE when the given character is an ABL whitespace
character (space, tab, carriage return, line feed)
Notes:

Parameters:
pcChar CHARACTER
The character to test

LOGICAL ParseFileAnnotation (character, character, character)
Purpose: Parses the first @BusinessEntityGenerator annotation contained
in the given source code
Notes: Tolerates line breaks within the annotation and arbitrary
argument order

Parameters:
pcSource CHARACTER
The source code to parse
pcEntityName CHARACTER
OUTPUT The value of the entityname argument
pcFileType CHARACTER

ScanForGeneratedFiles (character, character, table)
Purpose: Scans the given directory tree for ABL source files (.cls, .i)
carrying the @BusinessEntityGenerator annotation of the given
Business Entity and adds them to the temp-table
Notes: The annotation may be formatted across multiple lines and its
arguments (entityname, type) may appear in any order. Files
already contained in the temp-table are not added again, so
the method may be called for multiple (overlapping) root
directories. The caller is responsible for emptying the
temp-table before the first call

Parameters:
pcRootDirectory CHARACTER
The root directory to scan (including subdirectories)
pcEntityName CHARACTER
The fully qualified name of the Business Entity
ttStaleGeneratedFile TEMP-TABLE ttStaleGeneratedFile
INPUT-OUTPUT TABLE the matching files are added to, Stale flag initialized to false
Top

INTEGER SkipWhitespace (character, integer, integer)
Purpose: Returns the position of the first non-whitespace character at
or after the given position
Notes: Returns a position greater than the length when only whitespace
follows

Parameters:
pcSource CHARACTER
The source text
piPosition INTEGER
The position to start at
piLength INTEGER
The length of the source text
Returns INTEGER
The position of the first non-whitespace character
