Overview

Advpl Pontos Entrada (Grade A) is a skill for developing and working with Pontos de Entrada (PEs) in Protheus, a TOTVS system. PEs are official mechanisms for customizing standard routines without altering the original source code. They allow users to implement custom functions with specific names and signatures that are called by the Protheus framework at strategic points in the routines. This skill involves understanding naming patterns, such as MA440LOK/MT100GRV/A300STRU, and how to return values via Return or PARAMIXB. It also covers the use of ExecBlock/ExistBlock in TOTVS source code and references a catalog of around 280 PEs in pontos_entrada_padrao.

Key features

Support for custom user functions with specific names and signatures
Use of PARAMIXB for passing parameters to PEs
Integration with ExecBlock/ExistBlock in TOTVS source code
Catalog of standardized PEs for reference

Use cases

Customizing a Standard Protheus Routine

Use a PE to implement custom validation logic or business rules for a standard Protheus routine, such as validating data before saving it to the database.

Investigating Unexpected Behavior in a Protheus Routine

Use a PE to investigate and understand the cause of unexpected behavior in a standard Protheus routine, such as identifying which custom code is being executed.
