deprecatedpersistent class %Library.CompiledClass extends %Persistent

Note: The class definition classes in the %Library package have been superceded by those in the %Dictionary package. Instead use %Dictionary.CompiledClass.

This class represents a specific, compiled class definition. It contains all class members, including those that are inherited from super classes.

Instances of this class are "read only"; to modify class definitions use the non-compiled class definition classes.
