Classes and Objects

PeopleSoft delivers classes of objects that you can manipulate with PeopleCode. In addition, you can extend the existing classes or create your own. The delivered classes may or may not have a graphic user interface equivalent; some are representations of data structures that occur only at runtime. With PeopleCode, you can manipulate data in the data buffer easily and consistently. These classes enable you to write code that’s more readable, more easily maintained, and more useful.
