Detailed Description

Privides all the parameters that a parameter needs to contain if it is to project correctly into an MV data file.

An MV projection is actually the projection of the dictionary elements

Member Data Documentation

MVASSOCIATION

MVASSOCIATION = None

static

Privides all the parameters that a parameter needs to contain if it is to project correctly into an MV data file.

An MV projection is actually the projection of the dictionary elements

The ASSOC Parameter of an MV dictionary element

MVATTRIBUTE

MVATTRIBUTE = None

static

The attribute code (usually the attribute number within a record in the.

MV file, but can be 0 if a F correlative or A correlative is in force so you cannot rely on this as any real indicator of the value position you must calculate the value using the entire record and the $MVOCONV() function.

MVAUTO

MVAUTO = None

static

This parameter is used by CREATE.INDEX and PROTOCLASS to track the creation and.

use of properties. It is also used by DELETE.INDEX to determine if this property should be deleted if the index is deleted. Remove this parameter if you want to take manual control of the property.

MVITYPE

MVITYPE = None

static

The code for the I type of a dictionary element.

This generates the

data which is selected against or displayed. This is compiled and included in the class as the calc Method for this property.

Note that if an MVITYPE is present, then neither an MVCONVERSION nor a MVTOLOGICAL can be present. You either use an MVITYPE or you use MVCONVERSION and MVTOLOGICAL. The MVTYPE parameter being "D" indicates that this is the Prime/UniVerse format and uses Itypes, not MVCONVERSION and MVTOLOGICAL

MVNAME

MVNAME = None

static

The name of the dictionary element in MV terms (DICT name)

As the MV DICT elements can have just about any character in them, we cannot merely use the name of the property. However, if this is the empty string then the property name is assumed.

MVPROJECTED

MVPROJECTED = None

static

Set this parameter to True if it should be projected.

back to the DICT of the file that the containing class projects to, ot False if this definition is used by the class (for SQL, XML etc) only.

MVSVASSOCIATION

MVSVASSOCIATION = None

static

If set then this is the name of the subvalues SQL table projected by the compiler.

Each row in the table corresponds to one subvalue. If more than one property has the same value for MVSVASSOCIATION then the SQL table will contain associated values as individual columns. MVSVASSOCIATION cannot use the same name as MVASSOCIATION.

MVTODISPLAY

MVTODISPLAY = None

static

The conversion code used to generate data from the raw data of a.

record. This code is used in COS code as follows: Set d = $MVCONV("RawValue", MVTODISPLAY

Note that if an MVITYPE is present, then neither an MVTODISPLAY nor a MVTOLOGICAL can be present. You either use an MVITYPE or you use MVTODISPLAY AND MVTOLOGICAL. The MVTYPE parameter being "D" indicates that this is the Prime/UniVerse format and uses Itypes, not MVTODISPLAY and MVTOLOGICAL

MVTOLOGICAL

MVTOLOGICAL = None

static

The code for attribute 8 of a dictionary element.

This generates the

data which is selected against or displayed.

Note that if an MVITYPE is present, then neither an MVTODISPLAY nor a MVTOLOGICAL can be present. You either use an MVITYPE or you use MVTODISPLAY AND MVTOLOGICAL. The MVTYPE parameter being "D" indicates that this is the Prime/UniVerse format and uses Itypes, not MVTODISPLAY and MVTOLOGICAL

MVTYPE

MVTYPE = None

static

The Type of Dictionary element that this represents.

Types are

D (Uses MVITYPE if present, MVTOLOGICAL and MVCONVERSION are not allowed) A or S (Uses MVTOLOGICAL and MVCONVERSION if present. MVITYPE not allowed)
