    What is property access syntax?
    Hi,
     
    When it is mentioned that a method can be invoked using property access syntax, it means that the method can be called or accessed using the syntax typically used for accessing properties. Instead of using traditional method invocation syntax with parentheses, you can use the dot notation to access the method as if it were a property.
    For example, instead of calling a method like this:
    Database.UserId();
    You can also use property access syntax like this without parentheses:
    User := UserId;
     
    The reference document:
     
    Best Regards,
    Judy
