Where to Obtain Additional Information

The on-line reference for OCL is located in your VisualAge folder, under the VisualAge C++ Information folder. The reference .INF file should be titled Open Class Library Reference (D:\IBMCPP\HELP\CLREF.INF) while a second .INF user's guide is called Open Class Library User's Guide (D:\IBMCPP\HELP\CPPCLSUG.INF).

The first book, Open Class Library Reference has all of the documented methods, objects, and necessary include files. The easiest way to find what you need is probably to click on Classes By Name, normally the second option from the top (may depend on the version of the documentation).

Note that one of the most useful .INF books which IBM ships with VisualAge does NOT seem to get created anywhere on the desktop nor in the help folder. This is the VisualAge C++ Frequently Asked Questions, and it is called D:\IBMCPP\HELP\CPPFAQ.INF.

Additional information on programming using OCL can be obtained from a variety of sources. There is an increase in books published (some of which by IBM) which deal with OCL, as well as numerous sources on the Internet.

For more information, consult:
