You may wish to enable LANSA RDML Object types to become LANSA RDMLX Object Types for the following reasons:

To enable the object to interact with newly created RDMLX objects. For example, a Fully Enabled RDMLX Component may use all RDMLX Field Types and RDMLX Files.
To enable the object to use the RDMLX Language Features.

Notes:

RDMLX Fields include all field types except alphanumeric. Refer to Field Types in the LANSA Technical Reference for a list and details of the field types available.
RDMLX Files may use any type of field in the Repository.
RDMLX Functions may use any type of field or file in the Repository. RDMLX Functions must use *DIRECT.
An RDMLX Component is identified as being Enabled for RDMLX. A component must be Enabled for RDMLX in order to use other RDMLX objects and the RDMLX Language features.

RDMLX Language features include:

- use of intrinsic field methods
- use of function libraries
- use of expressions in many parameters and properties
- enhanced RDMLX command support such as assignment statements
- simplified RDML statements due to the removal of quotes.
A WAM (Web Application Module) is always an RDMLX Component.
