Syntax

return = objectName._getAttributeValue( );

When _getAttributeValue executes, it performs the following sequence of actions:

Determines if requested attribute is defined; returns 2 if attribute is undefined and processing ends.
Determines if value matches the attribute's type; returns 3 if it does not match and processing ends.
Executes getCAM if one is defined for the attribute; returns 7 if the CAM cannot execute, otherwise returns the value returned from the CAM.
Returns the value of the attribute.

If you add a getCAM to an attribute, _getAttributeValue returns the return value from your CAM as the value for rc.
