Constructor Details

DT

public DT(Message theMessage)

Parameters:

theMessage - message to which this Type belongs

Method Details

setValue

public void setValue(String theValue)
              throws DataTypeException

Description copied from class: AbstractPrimitive

Sets the value of this Primitive, first performing validation as specified by getMessage().getValidationContext(). No validation is performed if getMessage() returns null.

Note: as of the next HAPI release, the ValidationContext will be retrieved from getParser().getValidationContext(), which ultimately is the ValidationContext of the active HapiContext.

Specified by:

setValue in interface Primitive

Overrides:

setValue in class AbstractPrimitive

Parameters:

theValue - the value to be set

Throws:

DataTypeException - if the value is incorrectly formatted and either validation is enabled for this primitive or detail setters / getters have been called, forcing further parsing.

See Also:

• AbstractPrimitive.setValue(java.lang.String)

getValue

public String getValue()

Description copied from interface: Primitive

Returns a String representation of the value of this field.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Primitive

Overrides:

getValue in class AbstractPrimitive

Returns:

a String representation of the value of this field

See Also:

• AbstractPrimitive.getValue()

setYearPrecision

public void setYearPrecision(int yr)
                      throws DataTypeException

Throws:

DataTypeException - if the value is incorrectly formatted. If validation is enabled, this exception should be thrown at setValue(), but if not, detailed parsing may be deferred until this method is called.

See Also:

• CommonDT.setYearPrecision(int)

setYearMonthPrecision

public void setYearMonthPrecision(int yr,
 int mnth)
                           throws DataTypeException

Throws:

DataTypeException - if the value is incorrectly formatted. If validation is enabled, this exception should be thrown at setValue(), but if not, detailed parsing may be deferred until this method is called.

See Also:

• CommonDT.setYearMonthPrecision(int, int)

setYearMonthDayPrecision

public void setYearMonthDayPrecision(int yr,
 int mnth,
 int dy)
                              throws DataTypeException

Throws:

DataTypeException - if the value is incorrectly formatted. If validation is enabled, this exception should be thrown at setValue(), but if not, detailed parsing may be deferred until this method is called.

See Also:

• CommonDT.setYearMonthDayPrecision(int, int, int)

getYear

public int getYear()
            throws DataTypeException

Returns the year as an integer.

Throws:

DataTypeException - if the value is incorrectly formatted. If validation is enabled, this exception should be thrown at setValue(), but if not, detailed parsing may be deferred until this method is called.

getMonth

public int getMonth()
             throws DataTypeException

Returns the month as an integer.

Throws:

DataTypeException - if the value is incorrectly formatted. If validation is enabled, this exception should be thrown at setValue(), but if not, detailed parsing may be deferred until this method is called.

getDay

public int getDay()
           throws DataTypeException

Returns the day as an integer.

Throws:

DataTypeException - if the value is incorrectly formatted. If validation is enabled, this exception should be thrown at setValue(), but if not, detailed parsing may be deferred until this method is called.
