6277   This is not allowed in conditions

Cause

This error occurs if there is an attempt to use a JADE language feature that is not allowed in condition methods. Condition methods must have the following syntax.

condition-name(optional-parameters): Boolean condition;
[constants
    constant-declarations]
begin
    condition-instructions;
end;

The condition-instructions can specify only the if and return instructions.

In addition, a condition method cannot perform the following.

• Call (non-condition) methods

• Call condition methods on object references (except self)

• Reference properties using a path (for example, myCompany.name)

• Reference mapped properties

• Reference system variables (apart from self)

• Reference system properties (for example, the text property for the Customer class)

• Call itself (directly or indirectly)

• Reference an element in an array (for example, results[4] or equivalently results.at(4))

• Reference an object in a dictionary using its key value (for example, customers["Jones"] or the equivalent customers.getAtKey("Jones"))

This error can also occur for a method with the conditionSafe method option. A conditionSafe method is often used for a virtual property in an RPS mapping.

Action

Change the condition method to conform to the above rules. If you do not intend the method to be a condition method, remove the condition option from the method signature.
