%Collection.ListOfDT

class %Collection.ListOfDT extends %Collection.AbstractListOfDT, %Collection.Super

For information on this class, see Working with Collections.

The %Collection.ListOfDT class represents a list of literal (i.e., data type) values each of which is associated with a numeric position in the list. The first element in the list is stored at position 1.

These %Collection classes can only be used when you have a collection property of another object as they rely on storing the data inside the parent object, they cannot be used as 'standalone' collections; for this, use the %ListOfDataTypes.

Property Inventory

Method Inventory

Properties

property Size as %Integer [ Calculated ];
Size is the number of elements contained in the list.
Property methods: SizeDisplayToLogical(), SizeIsValid(), SizeLogicalToDisplay(), SizeNormalize()

Methods

final method Count() as %Integer
Returns the number of elements contained in the list.
method DeSerialize(serialized As %String(MAXLEN="")) as %Status
Inherited description: Deserialize from string created with Serialize() back to collection
classmethod DisplayToLogical(val As %String = "", delim As %String = {$char(13, 10)}, class As %String = "", method As %String = "") as %String
Converts the value of an incoming delimited string to a serialized state using the value of the delim argument as a delimiter.
classmethod FDBMSToLogical(val As %String = "", delim As %String = {$char(13, 10)}) as %String
Converts the value of an incoming delimited string to a serialized state using the value of the delim argument as a delimiter.
method Find(element As %String, key As %Integer) as %String
Starting from, and including, position key, Find finds the next element in the list with value equal to element. If key is a null string, Find starts at the beginning of the list.

Find returns the position of the found element or null string ("") if no element was found.

final method GetAt(key As %Integer = 0) as %String
Finds and returns the value of the element at position key in the list.

GetAt returns the value of the element at location key or null string ("") if no element is found.

method GetNext(ByRef key As %Integer) as %String
Finds and returns the value of the element at the position after key in the list. If key is a null string (""), it returns the value of the first element in the list.

The value of key, which is passed by reference, is updated to the position value of the returned element or null string ("") if key is at the end of the list.

method GetPrevious(ByRef key As %Integer) as %String
Finds and returns the value of the element at the position before key in the list. If key is a null string (""), it returns the value of the last element in the list.

The value of key, which is passed by reference, is updated to the position value of the returned element or null string ("") if key is at the beginning of the list.

method Insert(element As %String) as %Status
Inserts an element with value element at the end of the list.

Returns a %Status value indicating success or failure.

method InsertAt(element As %String, key As %Integer) as %Status
Inserts an element with value element at position key.

To make room for the new element, the elements previously at or following position key are moved up by one position.

key must be in the following range: 


1 <= key <= Count() + 1
Returns a %Status value indicating success or failure.
method InsertList(inslist As %String) as %Status
Inserts a list with value inslist at the end of the list.

Returns a %Status value indicating success or failure.

method InsertOrdered(element As %String) as %Status
Inserts an element with value element into the list at the correct ordered position. The elements in the list are shifted to accommodate the new element as necessary.

Returns a %Status value indicating success or failure.

method IsDefined(key As %Integer) as %Boolean
Returns true (1) if a value is defined at location key, otherwise false (0).
classmethod LogicalToDisplay(val As %String = "", delim As %String = {$char(13, 10)}, class As %String = "", method As %String = "") as %String
Converts the serial state of this list object to a delimited string using the value of the %delim argument as a delimiter.
classmethod LogicalToFDBMS(val As %String = "", delim As %String = {$char(13, 10)}) as %String
Converts the serial state of this list object to a delimited string using the value of the %delim argument as a delimiter.
Finds and returns the index value of the element at the location following key in the list. If key is a null string (""), then Next returns the position of the first element in the list (1).
Finds and returns the index value of the element at the location preceding key in the list. If key is a null string (""), then Next returns the position of the last element in the list.
method RemoveAt(key As %Integer) as %String
Removes the element at position key in the list. The elements following position key are moved to fill in the resulting gap.

RemoveAt returns the value of the removed element or null string ("") if no element was removed.

method Serialize(force As %Integer = 0) as %String
Serialize() constructs a serialized form of the collection as a string
method SetAt(element As %String, key As %Integer) as %Status
Sets the value of the element at position key to element.

Returns a %Status value indicating success or failure.

method SizeGet() as %Integer
abstract method SizeSet(newvalue As %Integer) as %Status
