The Java™ Integer class contains a method called equals, which accepts an Object as parameter and returns a boolean. It is declared in Java as follows:
boolean equals(Object)
This method would be prototyped as follows:
D equals PR N EXTPROC(*JAVA: D 'java.lang.Integer': D 'equals') D obj O CLASS(*JAVA:'java.lang.Object')
The returned value is specified as N, which maps to the Java boolean data type. Because this is not a static method, a call to this method will have two parameters with the instance parameter coded first.
