Parameters

• parameter DISPLAYLIST;

Used for enumerated (multiple-choice) attributes. Used in conjunction with the VALUELIST parameter for enumerated (multiple-choice) attributes. DISPLAYLIST, if not null, represents the display values for the attribute corresponding with the logical values listed in VALUELIST.
The display values are returned by the LogicalToDisplay method.

• parameter FORMAT;

The format specification for the data type's display value. The value of the FORMAT parameter corresponds to the available parameters of the $ZDATE and $ZDATEH functions, which are used to perform the formatting.

• parameter MAXVAL;

The maximum allowed logical value for the data type.

• parameter MINVAL;

The minimum allowed logical value for the data type.

• parameter VALUELIST;

Used for enumerated (multiple-choice) attributes. VALUELIST is either a null string ("") or a delimiter separated list (where the delimiter is the first character) of logical values. If a non-null value is present, then the attribute is restricted to values in the list, and the validation code simply checks to see if the value is in the list.

• parameter XSDTYPE = "date";

Declares the XSD type used when projecting XML Schemas.

Methods

• classmethod DisplayToLogical(%val As %String) as %Date

Converts the input value %val, which represents a date, into $H format.
Returns the logical ($H) value of the input string %val.

• classmethod IsValid(%val As %CacheString) as %Status

Tests if the logical value %val, which represents a date in $H format, is valid. The validation is based on the class parameter settings used for the class attribute this data type is associated with. In this case, MAXVAL and MINVAL.

• classmethod LogicalToDisplay(%val As %Date) as %String

Converts the value of %val, which is in logical $H format, into a display string. The formatting is based on the value of the FORMAT parameter.
Returns the formatted value of %val.

• classmethod LogicalToOdbc(%val As %Date = "") as %String

Converts %val, which represents a date in logical $H format, into ODBC date format.
Returns the ODBC date string for the logical ($H) value %val. Assume if there is a "-" in the value already, thay we already have an ODBC format. This is used by TO_DATE(val,"J") for Julian dates

• classmethod LogicalToXSD(%val As %Date) as %String

Converts the Cache %Date value to the canonical SOAP encoded value.

• classmethod Normalize(%val As %CacheString) as %Date

Converts %val to a normalized value.

• classmethod OdbcToLogical(%val As %String = "") as %Date

Converts %val, which represents a date in ODBC format, into $H format.
Returns the $H value of the ODBC date string %val.

• classmethod XSDToLogical(%val As %String) as %Date

Converts the SOAP encoded input date value into a Cache %Date value.
