What is anonymous block in Salesforce?
An anonymous block is Apex code that doesn’t get stored in the metadata, but that can be compiled and executed. (Anonymous Apex execution through the API allows restricted access without the “Author Apex” permission.)
What is anonymous execution in Salesforce apex?
(Anonymous Apex execution through the API allows restricted access without the “Author Apex” permission.) You can use anonymous blocks to quickly evaluate Apex on the fly, such as in the Developer Console or the Salesforce extensions for Visual Studio Code. You can also use anonymous blocks to write code that changes dynamically at runtime.
Why do anonymous blocks fail to compile?
Unlike classes and triggers, anonymous blocks execute as the current user and can fail to compile if the code violates the user’s object- and field-level permissions. Don’t have a scope other than local.
How do I fix the page name error in Salesforce?
Don’t forget to replace pageName with your page’s name: To fix that, go to the browser window/tab where the Saleforce home page is open (you should ofcourse login to see the Salesforce Home page). Press F12 in chrome to open the developer window.

Why do anonymous blocks fail to compile?
Unlike classes and triggers, anonymous blocks execute as the current user and can fail to compile if the code violates the user’s object- and field-level permissions. Don’t have a scope other than local. For example, although it’s legal to use the global access modifier, it has no meaning.
When you define a class or interface in Salesforce, is the class or interface considered virtual?
When you define a class or interface (a custom type) in an anonymous block, the class or interface is considered virtual by default when the anonymous block executes. This is true even if your custom type wasn’t defined with the virtual modifier. Save your class or interface in Salesforce to avoid this from happening.
What is anonymous block?
You can also use anonymous blocks to write code that changes dynamically at runtime. For example, let’s say you write a client Web application that takes input from a user, such as a name and address. You can then use an anonymous block of Apex to insert a contact with that name and address into the database.
Can user defined methods include static?
Can include user-defined methods and exceptions. User-defined methods can’t include the keyword static. You don’t have to manually commit any database changes. If your Apex trigger completes successfully, any database changes are automatically committed.
Can a callout be referenced before the endpoint?
Even though a user-defined method can refer to itself or later methods without the need for forward declarations, variables can’t be referenced before their actual declaration.
Can you run Apex code without author permission?
Running any other Apex code isn’t allowed when the user doesn’t have the Author Apex permission. For example, calling methods of custom Apex classes that are saved in the org isn’t allowed nor is using custom classes as arguments to built-in methods.
