PeopleCode

PeopleCode is the programming language delivered by PeopleSoft for the customization of the PeopleSoft Application. You code in PeopleCode via the Application Designer. The code can exist on a record, a button, an action, or, possibly, an Application Engine batch program. It is a proprietary language used to do object-oriented coding in PeopleTools. There is a tightly integrated element in the datatypes and metastrings that directly correlates to SQL. There are also elements of dot notation, classes, and methods that give PeopleCode a Java feel.
