Method Detail

getDecimalPositions

public int getDecimalPositions()

Returns the number of digits after the decimal point for this field.

Returns:

The number of digits after the decimal point.

getFLTPCN

public String getFLTPCN()

Returns the value specified for the FLTPCN keyword for this field.

The value specified for FLTPCN for this field. Possible values are *SINGLE or *DOUBLE. If FLTPCN was not specified for this field, an empty string is returned.

setDataType

public void setDataType(AS400Float4 dataType)

Sets the AS400DataType object describing this field.

Parameters:

dataType - The AS400DataType that describes this field. The dataType cannot be null.

setDataType

public void setDataType(AS400Float8 dataType)

Sets the AS400DataType object describing this field.

Parameters:

dataType - The AS400DataType that describes this field. The dataType cannot be null.

setDecimalPositions

public void setDecimalPositions(int decimalPositions)

Sets the number of digits after the decimal point for this field.

Parameters:

setFLTPCN

public void setFLTPCN(String floatPrecision)

Sets the value for the FLTPCN keyword for this field.

Parameters:

floatPrecision - The value to set for the FLTPCN keyword for this field. Possible values are *SINGLE or *DOUBLE. The floatPrecision cannot be null.

setDFT

public void setDFT(Double defaultValue)

Sets the value for the DFT keyword for this field. Use this version of setDFT() when an AS400Float8 was used to construct the object.

Parameters:

defaultValue - The default value for this field. The defaultValue cannot be null. To set a default value of *NULL, use the setDFTNull() method.

setDFT

public void setDFT(Float defaultValue)

Sets the value for the DFT keyword for this field. Use this version of setDFT() when an AS400Float4 was used to construct the object.

Parameters:

defaultValue - The default value for this field. The defaultValue cannot be null. To set a default value of *NULL, use the setDFTNull() method.

setDFTNull

public void setDFTNull()

Sets the value for the DFT keyword to be *NULL for this field. Calling this method will replace the DFT keyword that was previously set on a call to setDFT(). Note: This field must also have its ALWNULL keyword set to true to prevent DDS errors.

setLength

public void setLength(int length)

Sets the length of this field.

Parameters:

length - The length of this field. The length must be greater than zero.
