Prompt: Method
Transferable only if null |
Must be for one and only one METHOD | |
| CLASSIFIER_REFERENCE | Y | Prompt: Classifier Datatype | May be of datatype of one and only one CLASSIFIER | |
| COLLECT_CLASSIFIER_REFERENCE | Y | Prompt: Collection Type | May be a collection defined by one and only one CLASSIFIER | |
| Properties | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Datatype | Opt ? | Notes | Domain | Default Value |
| CALL_TYPE | VARCHAR2(12) | Y | Indicates whether the parameter is input only to the method, output only or modified by the method
Prompt: Usage Uppercase | PARAMETER_CALL_TYPE | |
| COLLECTION_SIZE | VARCHAR2(10) | N | Array size if collection is an array, or the size of the client side collection if any other collection type
Prompt: Collection Size | 1 | |
| DATATYPE_FORMAT | VARCHAR2(10) | N | Internal property acting as "logical arc discriminator" between SCALAR_DATATYPE and CLASSIFIER_REFERENCE, indicating which is populated. These are both optional, but one or other MUST be specified
Not displayed Uppercase System maintained Not updatable by user | DATATYPE_FORMAT | |
| DEFAULT_VALUE | VARCHAR2(2000) | Y | Default value for the parameter. Default values for an array parameter held as a comma separated list
Prompt: Default | ||
| NAME | VARCHAR2(100) | N | Name of the parameter
Prompt: Name | ||
| SCALAR_DATATYPE | VARCHAR2(15) | Y | Datatype of the parameter, if not defined by a classifier
Prompt: Scalar Datatype | SCALAR_DATATYPE | |
| SEQUENCE | NUMBER(6, 0) | N | Sequence in which this parameter appears among other parameters for the same method
Prompt: Sequence in Method System maintained: API provides a value only if left null by the user | ||
| PARENT_IVID | NUMBER(38, 0) | Y | Internal use only. Exists on "secondary" element types from a versioning viewpoint. Contains the IVID of the primary element type (not necessarily a PAC) forming the basis of the "versionable object" to which this element type belongs
Not displayed System maintained Updatable only if null Defined on SAC supertype | ||
| PAC_REFERENCE | NUMBER(38, 0) | Y | Internal use only. Exists on "secondary" element types from a structural viewpoint. Contains the IRID of the PAC forming the basis of the "logical object" to which this element type belongs
