NoExtent

Specifies whether the compiler is prevented from generating an extent for this class (in the case where it would otherwise do so).

Usage

To prevent the compiler from generating an extent for this class (in cases where it would otherwise do so), use the following syntax:

Class MyApp.MyClass [ NoExtent ]  { //class members }

Otherwise, omit this keyword or place the word Not immediately before the keyword.
