Object

Introduction

The Object library in Autom Mate provides actions designed to work with data and functions encapsulated within objects. An object, in the context of this library, contains both data and its associated functionality.

The purpose of the Object library is to offer operations that manipulate and interact with objects, allowing users to manage data structures effectively.
